Summer Music and More | El Noordzo

Summer Music and More returns to Nassau Park Pavilion

Join us for Summer Music and More, an evening filled with FREE live music and art activities for all ages! Feel free to bring a chair and some refreshments and enjoy. (Rain date July 14)

5 pm – Dan Kassel and special guest

First, you are in for a treat as Dan Kassel performs with a special guest, TBA. Dan is a versatile cellist who performs in a variety of ensembles ranging from classical to electronica, jazz and rock. As a solo artist, Dan has made a name for himself with his innovative approach to live-looping technology. By tapping, plucking and bowing on his instrument and recording each layer to play back in real time, he’s built a career as a one-man-band who provides soulful, original music for weddings, fine restaurants, private parties, corporate events and more.

6 pm – El Noordzo

Then, our headliner, El Noordzo, will perform their instrumental, psychedelic, Afro-Cuban surf-jazz interpretations of classic rock, punk and alternative songs. The trio has been thrilling audiences in the tri-state area since 2013. They’ve released two records of original music on NACHT records in 2015, the self-titled debut and the infamous Shark Funeral Songbook in 2015. Band leader Mike Noordzy teaches privately at Rutgers University, Middlesex College, Hudson Music Studios and Speak Music Conservatory. Mike also composes music for film and runs the experimental music label NACHT records. He holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Jazz Performance from Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University. Expect the unexpected when El Noordzo comes to town!

The Venue

Located behind Panera, off Rt. 1, at 510 Nassau Park Blvd, this hidden plaza is accessible, although located a distance on flat ground from the parking lot. It is a great location for a summer concert with plenty of parking, food options, and beautiful landscaped gardens.
