In the spirit of collaboration and appreciation for musical brilliance, we bring you our monthly concert series — pairing tunes from legendary masters of rock, along with some unsung heroes following in their footsteps. Settle in for an intimate vibe akin to MTV Unplugged, Storytellers and Behind the Music, as singer/guitarist Kevin Spyker performs timeless hits and hidden gems, accompanied by an array of instrumentalists from the Belmar Arts music collective.

Reserve your seats for our series launch on May 18th — highlighting the music of rock icon Tom Petty, with an opening set honoring the up-and-coming band known as Dawes...each month we will tribute two different bands.

Between songs we’ll share some history and fun facts about our featured songsters.

We’re honored to name our tribute series after the memorable Dawes song / album “All Your Favorite Bands” with the anthemic refrain:

“I hope that life without a chaperone is what you thought it'd be,

I hope your brother's El Camino runs forever,

I hope the world sees the same person that you've always been to me,

And may all your favorite bands stay together!”

Earth Room Concerts at UUCMC in Lincroft, NJ presents Sam Robbins in concert. A young New England based, nationally touring musician whose music evokes classic singer songwriters like James Taylor and Jackson Browne, Sam adds a modern, upbeat edge to the storyteller troubadour persona. An avid performer, he has gained recognition from extensive national touring, from sharing the stage with artists like Jason Mraz and David Wilcox, and as a main stage performer at national festivals like the Kerrville, Falcon Ridge and Philadelphia Folk Festivals. His fine guitar finger-picking and evocative songs complement his warm voice and charismatic performances. In mid-November, Sam was announced as one of only 6 nominees for Artist of the Year in the 2026 International Folk Music Awards! Highly recommended as someone going places!

In honor of the 50th anniversary of the release of “The Song Remains the Same,” internationally acclaimed Lez Zeppelin — the all-female quartet known for delivering the most powerful and authentic Led Zeppelin experience and the only band personally endorsed by Jimmy Page himself — returns to UCPAC’s Main Stage with a special concert celebrating the iconic 1976 film and its legendary soundtrack!

Accompanied by a multimedia presentation inspired by the original movie, Lez Zeppelin will perform “The Song Remains the Same” in its entirety, with jaw-dropping renditions of classics like “No Quarter,” “Dazed and Confused,” “Since I’ve Been Loving You,” and the transcendent “Stairway to Heaven.”

Harnessing the energy, virtuosity, and grandeur of Led Zeppelin’s storied 1973 performances at Madison Square Garden, this tribute is more than a concert — it’s a resurrection of rock history, reimagined and re-ignited for a new generation!
