CRITIC’S PICK
Wed. April 23
Justin Hayward’s Blue World, Mike Dawes, Center Stage—Ex-Moody Blues frontman and lead singer Hayward will likely stick to his productive years in the iconic UK band for this career spanning show. He has been a solo artist for decades too, so some of those tunes will be sprinkled in between the “Nights in White Satin” psychedelic pop hits that puts the butts in the seats and forms the basis of his Blue World (also a Moody’s tune) set. Dawes is a world renowned, wildly talented guitarist who has been a longtime member of Hayward’s solo bands. — Hal Horowitz

Known principally as the vocalist, lead guitarist and composer for The Moody Blues, his is an enduring talent that has helped to define the times in which he worked. Possessing one of the most distinctive voices in rock music, as well as being the driving force behind The Moody Blues, Justin penned classics like ‘Nights in White Satin’, ‘Question’, ‘New Horizons’, ‘I Know You’re Out There Somewhere’, ‘Tuesday Afternoon’, ‘Story In Your Eyes, ‘The Voice’ and ‘Your Wildest Dreams’.
‘Nights in White Satin’ continues to be covered by other recording artists all over the world, most recently having chart success with Planet Funk, and the song has featured in several movies including Martin Scorseses’s ‘Casino’, Robert de Niro’s ‘A Bronx Tale’ and ‘Shattered’, directed by Wolfgang Petersen.
