A Night at the Movies! Premier Screening of 2024 American Music Honors
October 11, 2024
The Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music is pleased to announce the premier screening of this year’s American Music Honors. The screening of this very special evening honoring American Music icons Dion, John Mellencamp, Jackson Browne, and Mavis Staples will be held on Friday, November 1st at the intimate Pollak Theatre where the sold-out awards event was held on April 24, 2024. Doors will open at 7:30 pm.
Each of the 2024 honorees, backed by Marc Ribler & the Disciples of Soul band, contributed awe-inspiring performances that completely blew the audience away. Hosted by Brian Williams, the evening was filled with eloquent and thoughtful remarks by honorees and their presenters: Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Van Zandt, Darlene Love, and Jon Landau. The evening concluded with the audience on their feet while honorees and presenters shared the stage and jammed to such hits as “Small Town“, “Glory Days”, “Tenth Avenue Freeze Out”, “Take It Easy”, “The Wanderer” and culminating in a jam-packed stage performing “Will the Circle Be Unbroken”.
Tickets are $25 and will go on sale Friday, October 11 and can be purchased here at the Monmouth University box office.
