Split Level Concerts

More memories with Willie Nile! These shots were taken at his November, 2019 performance at JCC of Central NJ in Scotch Plains - our last show before the pandemic, and actually our last show before we moved to the shore and partnered with our friends at Jersey Shore Arts Center.
By now, it’s no secret that we’ll be welcoming Willie back to our series and into JSAC’s Palaia Theater on Saturday, October 31st. Willie will perform a special solo Storyteller show, sharing tales about his songs and the journey that’s led to what can only be described as a storied career.
Big thanks to our sponsors, our partners at 90.5 the Night and Musicians on a Mission, and to our fabulous promoter, Troy Deckebach

Digging through some old files and came across these great shots of Willie Nile taken by my pal Donna Passero at a show at Hamilton Stage at Union County Performing Arts Center way back in December 2014. One of many great nights with Willie.
Of course, we are expecting another great night when Willie performs a special solo Storyteller show on October 31st at Jersey Shore Arts Center in Ocean Grove. Think of it as an intimate house concert, only in a bigger room.
The show kicks off our third season at JSAC and we couldn’t be couldn’t be more excited about it. Get your tix at jerseyshoreartscenter.org.
Big thanks to our partners 90.5 the Night and Musicians on a Mission for all of their support. And a special thank you to Troy Deckebach for all he does to promote the shows.
Come on out, people!

Season Three of Split Level Concerts at Jersey Shore Arts Center will kick off on Halloween night with the great Willie Nile performing a special solo Storyteller show, giving us insight into the origins of his songs and the adventures that inspired them.
It’s no exaggeration to say that without Willie Nile, there would be no Split Level Concerts. For my 40th birthday, we invited Willie to perform in our living room. (Check out the pics to see how young we were.) We had such a blast that we decided to keep going. Here we are, 26 years later, presenting Willie again in our latest iteration - the Jersey Shore Art Center’s Palaia Theater.
Thanks to our partners at 90.5 the Night and Musicians on a Mission for all their support, and to my man Troy Deckebach, our Professor of Promotion, for his dedication and hard work.
