MUSIC & EVENTS
A Tribute to the Music of ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’
Movie Screening with Live Jam & Sing-along
Featuring Kevin Spyker & Friends
Saturday October 19th @ 7pm 
Tickets: $15 ($10 for BAC members)
This month Kevin Spyker (guitar & vocals) along with members of the Belmar Arts Music Collective (horns, piano & percussion) will play along as we watch and sing to The Rocky Horror Picture Show — the 1975 independent musical comedy horror film featuring an epic ensemble cast including Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, Charles Gray, even rock icon Meat Loaf! With over a dozen rousing songs throughout the film, this cult classic was a perfect choice for our October Monthly Tribute Series… 
For nearly 50 years, enthusiastic audiences have been flocking to off-beat theaters to continue a wild and care-free tradition of viewing the film, mirrored by a troupe of actors with simple props and plenty of rowdy crowd participation (like throwing rice, popcorn and playing cards)… While we’ll be focusing on the soundtrack over theatrics, we do welcome our audience to join us in singing along and dancing The Time Warp together!

Robin Fox
 
This “Real Housewife” was the funniest lady at the PTO and bus stop but one day decided to move her act to the comedy stage and has audiences roaring ever since. For the past 10 years, this very funny lady has been a crowd pleaser for audiences young and old and especially those somewhere in-between. Robin Fox is a one woman sitcom! She talks about her 27-year marriage to Wolfie, her children, her aging parents, and life in suburbia. She has audiences in hysterics about raising kids today in the crazy world we all live in.

Tim Hayes
 ACTOR   STAND UP COMIC   WRITER
Tim was just seen as Norman Ashkenas in the film, "Dumb Money" and was recently seen in an SNL skit with the talented writers/improvisational group, "Please Don't Destroy." He is also an accomplished stage actor who was seen, pre-pandemic, in the Off-Broadway Premier of "The Exes" by Lenore Skomal which ran for two months at Theater Row. He is also in the upcoming Lucy Hale film titled, "A Nice Girl Like You", and has appeared on "Law and Order: SVU" as well as award-winning independent films including "The Butcher and the Housewife", "What Alice Found" and "The Big Bad Swim." Tim is also a stand up comic and likes to think of himself as everyone's favorite dad; that is to everyone except his  own children. Brimming with likeability and drawing from his own experience as a husky youth, athlete, retired chiropractor, actor, father of two and ex-husband of one, he tells stories of everyday life in a quick witted and hysterical fashion. He is extremely versatile and able to work clean for any group or work edgy for mature audiences.

This is a night of heart tugging and mind boggling original music. JM Cooks is one of the most entertaining performance personalities in the central New Jersey music scene. He never fails to engage audiences with humor, irony, and unexpected song structure. The music and lyrics of Alex Sanders are a subtle blend of high energy rock with delicate, ethereal folk. Alex's music strives to combine nostalgia for the past with present-day circumstances. Finally, we're excited to welcome Kenneth Baker and The Inspiration to the BAC stage for the first time!"

This means that you will sing at least two songs that were sung or written by or have the name in the title or lyrics of Rick, Rich, Richie, Ricky, Richard, etc. Use your imagination and stretch to even include Kim Richey or Rickie Lee Jones. There are a ton of songs that will fit this theme. You decide on three good songs and we'll listen. Just keep it at 12 minutes or under!
There will be a grand finale song, “Hang on Sloopy” by the McCoys (with lead singer Rick Derringer) for everyone to share at the end of the event. Support for other performers is a priority for MOAM, so please show up early and stay late to sing the finale with everyone.
