Willie Nile will bring his band to The Outpost in the Burbs at The First Congregational Church in Montclair, May 3 at 8 p.m., with Debra Devi opening.
Click HERE for a new NJArts.net interview with Nile, by Cindy Stagoff.
“I love the music and playing the songs lifts my spirits, plus I’ve got a world class band to help bring the songs to life,” says Nile, who is celebrating his 50th anniversary as a professional musician this year. “It’s a celebration every time we play and it’s a feel-good show so people who come out have a great time and their spirits are lifted the same as ours. I don’t know why the fire still burns as much as it does, but it does, and I’m deeply grateful for that.”

The Paragon Ragtime Orchestra often performs live music at screenings of classic silent films, and will do so when “The Gold Rush” is shown at The Brook Arts Center in Bound Brook, May 3 at 3 p.m. The 1925 film — written and directed by Charlie Chaplin — features him in his Little Tramp persona, on the search for gold in Alaska and falling in love with a woman he meets at a dance hall.
This show will feature the film’s original orchestral score, conducted by PRO Founder Rick Benjamin, with live sound effects.
