“This is a fun-filled family event,” said Haddon Township Mayor Randall Teague. “We’re not ready to let the summer slip away just yet.

Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC)
100 South Street, Morristown, NJ<\/a><\/p>\n

Dion and his music have long represented a special time and place, reflective of a moment when a song could mean so much. When a singer could sum up what it means to be young, in love and on top of the world. Dion is more than a cherished memory as critic Dave Marsh noted, \u201cDion is the only artist from the 1950\u2019s who has remained creative and relevant into the 2000s.\u201d In 1958 he had three top-forty hits. In 2008 he was nominated for a Grammy. In 2020, is releasing new studio album Blues with Friends, joined by Joe Bonamassa, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison, Jeff Beck, Billy Gibbons and many other rock luminaries. In the \u201950s he was one of a handful of innovators who defined rock \u2018n\u2019 roll and that\u2019s still very much the case.<\/p>\n
