Chris Pinnella: A Candlelit Evening with 12-Piece Orchestra
Join powerhouse vocalist Chris Pinnella (former Trans-Siberian Orchestra) as he returns to AP Rooftop on Friday, September 18 for one final breathtaking concert of the summer season.
Set high above the Asbury Park boardwalk at the Arthur Pryor Bandshell, the stage will glow beneath the warm light of more than 1,000 candles, illuminating Pinnella and his phenomenal 12-piece orchestra for an unforgettable evening of music under the stars. Known for his emotionally rich performances and cinematic arrangements, Pinnella creates an immersive concert experience unlike anything else on the Jersey Shore.
The evening features reimagined, genre-bending interpretations of music made famous by legendary artists including The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Tears for Fears, Yaz, The Rolling Stones, Simon & Garfunkel, Sting, Leonard Cohen, and more. Blending rock, pop, jazz, and classical influences, Pinnella breathes new life into these timeless songs with performances praised for their originality and emotional depth. USA Today calls his work "genre-bending," while the Dallas Morning News applauds his "stunning singing."
The New York Times raves, "Pinnella possesses a soaring rich voice that just leaves you speechless. With his amazing band he takes each song into majestic territory."
