"The British Invasions” OPEN MIC & FOOD DRIVE
Sunday October 1 @ the BAC
11:30 - 4:00
Guest host will be MOAM member and supporter, Fred Rox. This is MOAM’s first themed open mic at BAC and it’s going to be a good one!
“The British Invasions” is the theme for the open mic, which means you should do at least TWO songs that have to do with the theme, plus one more song (cover or original). Everyone knows about the British Invasion of the 60s with bands like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, etc. But there was a second British Invasion of music coming out of the UK in the 80s. This time we got music from Elvis Costello, The Police, Joe Jackson, Squeeze and more. You can choose to play songs from either or both Invasions. 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, “Dead Flowers” by the Rolling Stones 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.

Admission is $5 donation at the door or $3 with two non-perishable food donations. Proceeds to benefit FULFILL, formerly known as the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties and the Belmar Arts Center. http://fulfillnj.org/    https://www.belmararts.org/
Sign-ups for this event will be done online. The link for the sign-up will be posted on the Musicians on a Mission Facebook event page a week before the open mic. Be on the lookout for it! https://www.facebook.com/musiciansonamission

Fresh coffee, soda, water and snacks will be available for a minimal charge at the show or bring something for yourself.

Dark Side of the Rainbow Encore
Live Performance 
Kevin Spyker & Friends
7pm • Thursday October 19th
Tickets: $15 Advance / $20 At Door
 
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND FOR AN ENCORE SHOW!!
Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s classic album “Dark Side of the Moon”with a live performance by Kevin Spyker & Friendsat Belmar Arts Center! In keeping with a quirky urban legend, we’ll be syncing up the music with the timeless film “Wizard of Oz” to create a mind-bending alternate soundtrack…
 
To date, we've counted around 40 instances of subtle synchronicity between these remarkable works -- a celebration of random coincidental happenstance that makes for a wild ride! At times, there are simple cues and shifts in the music that reflect the action of the movie, other times the lyrics hint at key plot points... 

Since the early 2000’s, Kevin Spyker has performed the full album at numerous NJ-NYC area venues such as Arlene’s Grocery, LITM, 111 First Street Art Center, Luna Parc, Culture Den, and The Landmark Loew’s Jersey Theater. This rendition will feature local musicians from the Belmar Arts collective, including Niki Arrowsmith, Andrew Dreamos, Matthew Trice, Diane Doolittle, Dave Gatenby, and Alex Fuhring.
