SUMMARY:Gin Blossoms perform at Hy-Vee Amphitheater
DESCRIPTION:Multi-platinum American alternative rock band Gin Blossoms will perform at Hy-Vee Amphitheater at Centennial Park on Sunday\, Sept. 13.\nTickets are available at https://englert.org/events/gin-blossoms/\nAll tickets are general admission on the outdoor stage’s greenspace; $55 for adults and $25 for students/youth.\nThis event is in partnership with the Englert Theatre\, but the concert will take place at Hy-Vee Amphitheater at Centennial Park\, located at 1565 Saint Andrews Drive in North Liberty.\n.  5:30 p.m.Gates\, parking and concessions open\n6:30 p.m.Opener\n7:45 p.m.Gin Blossoms\n Formed in Tempe\, Arizona in 1987\, Gin Blossoms helped define alternative radio in the early ‘90s with their breakout major-label debut New Miserable Experience. Led by the gold-certified hit “Hey Jealousy\,” the album went on to sell more than four million copies\, delivering enduring singles like “Allison Road” and “Until I Fall Away” and cementing the band as power-pop mainstays. Their hometown legacy was officially recognized in October 2022\, when Tempe unveiled an honorary street sign renaming a section of 8th Street between Rural Road and Una Avenue as “Allison Road Avenue\,” celebrating both the beloved song and the album’s 30th anniversary.\nThey followed with the platinum-selling Congratulations I’m Sorry\, featuring the Top 10 smash “Follow You Down” and the GRAMMY-nominated “As Long as It Matters.” Decades later\, their jangly guitars\, sharp hooks\, and emotionally resonant songwriting still hit with the same immediacy. Made up of Robin Wilson\, Jesse Valenzuela\, Bill Leen\, and Scotty Johnson\, Gin Blossoms continue to evolve without losing the sound that made them essential. Their latest album\, Mixed Reality (produced by Don Dixon and engineered by Mitch Easter)\, delivers 15 new tracks packed with chiming melodies\, wry lyricism\, and undeniable heart\, proving the band is as vital now as ever.\nInducted into the Arizona Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame in 2017\, Gin Blossoms remain road-tested and fan-driven\, touring relentlessly and sharing stages with Collective Soul\, Barenaked Ladies\, and Hootie & The Blowfish. Reuniting once again with Blues Traveler for this year’s tour\, the longtime collaborators are building on the momentum of last summer\, when they took over the Jimmy Kimmel Live! stage for an epic mashup — an electric reminder that Gin Blossoms continue to turn nostalgia into something unmistakably alive.

The year is 1608: London is under the shadow of plague\, its ruler is erratic\, and the arts are in peril. (Sound familiar?) Shakespeare’s latest tragedies are no longer drawing audiences; his acting company wants a crowd-pleaser; the King needs a Psalm; and the playwright himself is questioning whether his greatest work is behind him. When an unlikely encounter sends him into the colorful world of star-crossed lovers\, brash rogues\, and enterprising brothel keepers\, Shakespeare discovers the inspiration that propels him to his last great plays. \nWritten by Emmy-winning producer and playwright Scott Carter\, whose previous play The Gospel According to Thomas Jefferson\, Charles Dickens and Count Leo Tolstoy: Discord was produced by Riverside in 2019. I\, Will: A Late Romance is generously sponsored by Denice and Michael Connell. \nI\, Will: A Late Romance is produced at Riverside Theatre as part of a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere. Other Partner Theaters are Stage West Theatre (Fort Worth\, Texas) and The Invisible Theatre (Tucson\, Arizona). For more information\, please visit nnpn.org
