THE SMITHEREENS WITH MARSHALL CRENSHAW
November 2, 2019 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
$48 – $57
When Pat DiNizio passed away on Dec. 12, 2017, the future of The Smithereens was suddenly thrown into question. Thankfully, the band has decided to continue playing. Fellow ’80s rock legend Marshall Crenshaw is on hand as special guest vocalist alongside Jim Babjak, Dennis Diken and Mike Mesaros.
Crenshaw was one of many artists to take part in a tribute concert, “Time and Time Again: A Celebration of the Life of Pat DiNizio,” which took place at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank on Jan. 13, 2018.
He played with the band on tracks like “Even If I Never Get Back Home,” “Strangers When We Meet” and a cover of Budd Holly’s “Well, All Right.” His career includes such classic radio hits as “Someday, Someway” and “Whenever You’re On My Mind.”
The Smithereens may not have been the biggest band to ever come out of New Jersey, but they were arguably one of the best representations of a Jersey band. They combine a Jersey rock and roll vibe with a Beatle-esque sound.
