HERSHEY, Pa. — Multi-Grammy and Oscar award-winning musician Jon Batiste announced he will perform at the Hershey Theatre as part of an exclusive East Coast tour on Saturday, May 11.
The performance will began at 8 p.m. Tickets are available online at www.HersheyEntertainment.com and www.Ticketmaster.com.
Featuring an evening of genius music composition and instrumental virtuosity, “STREAMS: Jon Batiste At The Piano” will also make stops in Syracuse, Buffalo and Hackensack, Batiste said.
“I am at home on the piano," Batiste said. "STREAMS is a stream-of-consciousness music that comes to me in the moment without rehearsal or preparation. Playing piano for me is like breathing. It’s prayer, it’s dreaming, it’s conversation. I want to be in the conversation with the audience and share this intimate creative space. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience each time, a spontaneous flow state, completely improvised.”
Batiste, 37, is currently on his headlining tour in support of his latest Grammy-nominated album, “World Music Radio.”
The sold-out “Uneasy Tour: Purifying the Airwaves for the People” continues to earn rave reviews from critics, including the Boston Globe, which described the show as “beautifully life-affirming,” while the Tennessean highlighted his ability to electrify audiences, noting that he “brought the crowd to their feet in worship or hollering along to rock n’ roll.”
In addition to his successful music career, Batiste appeared as himself on the HBO series "Treme," and led the house band on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."
