Split Level Concerts and 90.5 The Night Present: Willie Nile (solo/storyteller show) with Special Guest Robinson Treacher @ JSAC's Palaia Theater

The New York Times called Buffalo, NY born Willie Nile "one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years." Uncut Magazine called him “A one-man Clash” and “the unofficial poet laureate of New York City”. 

Split Level Concerts is back for its 3rd season at Jersey Shore Arts Center in Ocean Grove.  The partnership between Split Level Concerts and JSAC brings critically acclaimed national and international touring Americana and contemporary folk musicians to the Jersey Shore. Artists from the Asbury Park music scene will continue to open many of the shows.

In what promises to be a memorable opening night, the great Willie Nile will perform a special storytellers show at JSAC’s Palaia Theater.  Award-winning singer-songwriter Robinson Treacher will open the evening.  The first two seasons of Split Level Concerts at JSAC launched with sold-out performances, with last season’s opener selling out weeks in advance. The pairing of Willie Nile and Robinson Treacher is sure to make this year’s opening night another highly sought-after ticket.  Visit each artist’s website to learn more:

Net ticket proceeds from all Split Level concerts support the programming and arts education offered by the Jersey Shore Arts Center, a non-profit organization serving Ocean Grove and its surrounding areas.  The second season of the series netted approximately $10,000, money that the Arts Center is using to help pay for the presentation of additional arts programs and improvements to its historic building.

In addition, Jersey Shore Arts Center and Split Level Concerts are proud to partner with Brookdale Public Radio 90.5 The Night and Musicians On A Mission (MOAM) to promote the concert series.  Musicians On A Mission is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating connection and inspiring giving through music. During the shows that made up season two, the volunteers from MOAM collected nearly $4,000 in cash donations and 587 pounds of non-perishable food items to benefit Fulfill (formerly the Food Bank of Monmouth & Ocean County). For season three, MOAM has again chosen Fulfill to be the beneficiary of their fundraising efforts.
