Back for the 7th consecutive year, The Elvis Birthday Bash is a night of big fun! Actor and musician Scot Bruce starts the evening with his 50's era Elvis show. Scot has a recurring role on "Days of Our Lives," has appeared in three stage productions of "Idols of the King," and in music videos by Sheryl Crow and Faith Hill. Mike Albert, "The World's Finest Elvis Impressionist," plays the second half of the evening. Mike presents a sincere, respectful portrayal of "The King" that has earned endorsements by Elvis Presley's own musicians and back-up singers.

The annual Elvis Costume Contest precedes the concert.

"The House That Horse Built" (Let The Great World Spin) is a collaboration between Joe Hurley and Colum McCann which has taken critics and Europe by storm. Earlier this year, Hurley played a month-long sold-out tour from London to Vienna, Paris to Berlin. The CD is currently receiving rave reviews, and is currently only available in the U.S. AT THIS EVENT. Monmouth County is fortunate to catch Hurley before he embarks on a summer tour of the UK, Ireland, France and Austria and before becoming the 'musical artist in residence' at the Berlin Literature Festival and playing at the Vincennes Festival in Paris.


$45 (EXTREMELY limited seating)
Admission includes a copy of the CD signed by BOTH Hurley and McCann.

Also included: Light fare inspired by the streets of NY.
