Music Legend Tracy Nelson to Perform at OCC’s Grunin Center on Nov. 1

TOMS RIVER, NJ — Acclaimed vocalist Tracy Nelson will bring her legendary musical talent to the Gia Maione Prima Foundation Studio Theatre at the Grunin Center for the Arts at 7 p.m. on Friday, November 1.

With a career spanning more than five decades, Nelson has earned recognition as one of the most powerful voices in American music, from her early days with Mother Earth to her remarkable Grammy-nominated comeback album, “Life Don’t Miss Nobody.” Nelson has emerged from a lengthy recording hiatus with the album of a lifetime, a musical self-portrait spanning her entire career. “Life Don’t Miss Nobody” is a 13-track collection that stretches back to her start as a guitar-picking Wisconsin teen playing coffeehouses, through an unparalleled career singing blues, country, New Orleans R&B and gospel, and performing in such storied music meccas as 1960s San Francisco and 1970s Austin in her epic, genre-busting musical journey.

The Grunin Center’s black box theater provides the perfect venue to experience this intimate acoustic performance, during which Nelson will be accompanied by Steve Conn, one of the two pianists on “Life Don’t Miss Nobody.” Conn will also bring his small accordion to accompany Tracy when she switches to a 12-string acoustic guitar.

Tickets are $24 and can be purchased online at grunincenter.org or by calling the Grunin Center Box Office at 732-255-0500.

This event is made possible through the generous support of the Gia Maione Prima Foundation.
