Saturday Night Live comedian Rob Schneider comes to Sherman Theater

Schneider started his stand-up career in high school opening for the popular San Francisco band “Head On,” and was a regular guest on local radio.

An opening slot for Dennis Miller garnered him an appearance on the HBO’s “13th Annual Young Comedians” special also hosted by Miller.

The special led him to a coveted position as a writer for SNL in 1988. Schneider swiftly moved from a writer and featured player to a full cast member with a cast that included Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade and the late Chris Farley.

After leaving SNL in 1994 Schneider went to roles in film and television including a starring role in the NBC sitcom “Men Behaving Badly,” and starring roles in the feature films DEUCE BIGALOW: MALE GIGOLO, THE ANIMAL, THE HOT CHICK, DEUCE BIGALOW: EUROPEAN GIGALOW and THE BENCHWARMERS. DEUCE BIGALOW: MALE GIGOLO has the distinction of being the second highest grossing DVD in the US in 2000.

He also co-starred in numerous comedies that were some of the biggest films in the past twenty years, including GROWNUPS, THE WATERBOY, LITTLE NICKY, THE LONGEST YARD, 50 FIRST DATES, I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK AND LARRY, YOU DON’T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN, and narrated the animated film 8 CRAZY NIGHTS.

He also appeared in Netflix’s THE WRONG MISSY and the recently released HUBIE HALLOWEEN.

Schneider’s directorial debut was the comedy BIG STAN, in which he also starred in the title role. In 2010 he released his first comedy album, “Registered Offender,” a collection of audio sketches and songs.

That year Schneider also revived his stand-up career with an international tour and has continued to tour nationally and internationally ever since.

Schneider is currently co-starring in Netflix’s “Home Team,” starring Kevin James and is embarking on his stand-up comedy tour throughout the summer. In addition, Schneider recently completed production on the film “Daddy Daughter Trip,” which he produced, directed and starred in.

The three-time Emmy nominated writer for SNL is having the best time of his life, enjoying raising his 7- and 3-year-old girls, Miranda and Madeline, with his wife Patricia. Schneider is also the father of singer/ songwriter Elle King.

Blues Traveler Heads to Sherman Theater May 14

By Joe Wehinger — 2 years ago

Blues Traveler heads to Sherman Theater on May 14 for a night of their biggest hits.

Six-time, Platinum rockers, Blues Traveler, will perform the hits that defined their 36-year career at the Sherman Theater in downtown Stroudsburg, PA on May 14 at 8:00 PM.

Blues Traveler have announced a series of 2023 shows to coincide with the impending release of their

Live and Acoustic: Fall of 1997

Tickets for the “Blues Traveler 2023″ show go on sale Friday, January 27 at 10:00 AM EST and can be purchased at shermantheater.com.

During the shows, the band will perform a bevy of songs spanning more than three decades and 14 hit albums – including the iconic four, which went six-times Platinum and spawned the definitive “Run-Around” (garnering their first Grammy® Award).

Audiences can also expect to hear the band’s Billboard-topping smash singles like “Hook” and “But Anyway,” as well as their new, jam-infused renditions of some of their favorite classic blues songs, originally recorded by artists such as Aretha Franklin, Freddie King, Big Mama Thornton, and Little Willie John.

Blues Traveler will also be promoting their forthcoming spring 2023 release of Live and Acoustic: Fall of 1997, which is a selection of highlights from the ensemble’s legendary tour 25-years-ago.

The 25th-anniversary limited edition double LP will include unreleased,remastered material from the initial two-track soundboard recordings.

Live and Acoustic: Fall of 1997 captures moments from the band’s historic acoustic performances, with the release doubling as a 25th-anniversary celebration of the ensemble’s late-’90s live delivery.

About Blues Traveler: 36 years ago, the four original members of Blues Traveler – John Popper, Chandler Kinchla, Brendan Hill, and the late Bobby Sheehan – gathered in their drummer’s parent’s basement in Princeton, NJ to jam. From these high school sessions emerged a band that would go on to release a total of 14 studio albums, four of which have gone gold, three platinum, and one six-times platinum-selling more than 10 million combined units worldwide.

Over an illustrious career, Blues Traveler has played over 2,000 live shows in front of more than 30 million people, and, in “Run-Around,” had the longest-charting radio single in Billboard history, which earned them a Grammy® for “Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.” Their latest album Travelers Blues (Round Hill Records) was released in 2021 and featured reimagined and recharged classics from the American blues songbook and a few surprises. The group’s first official blues album, it was nominated for a Grammy® for “Best Traditional Blues’ Album” in 2022.

Their movie credits include Blues Brothers 2000, Kingpin, Wildflowersand others. A television favorite, they have been featured on “Saturday Night Live,” “Austin City Limits,” “VH1’s Behind the Music” and they hold the record for the most appearances of any artist on “The Late Show with David Letterman.”

Canadian Rock band Silverstein Brings ‘Misery Made Me’ 2023 Tour to Sherman Theater April 2

Canadian Rock band Silverstein Brings ‘Misery Made Me’ 2023 Tour to Sherman Theater April 2

The Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg announced that Canadian rock band Silverstein will bring their Misery Made Me 2023 tour to the Sherman Theater on April 2, 2023 at 7:00 PM with doors opening at 6:00.

Silverstein Brings ‘Misery Made Me’ 2023 Tour to Sherman Theater April 2

Joining Silverstein on the tour will be Dayseeker, SeeYouSpaceCowboy and One Step Closer.

Few bands on their 22nd lap around the scene could claim to be in “just getting started” mode as much as punk stalwarts Silverstein.

The release of their tenth studio album, Misery Made Me, finds the group spring boarding off the heights they’ve reached over the past handful of years; their latest album (2020’s A Beautiful Place To Drown) adding 80 Million streams to a mind-numbing career total of 500 Million; collecting a nomination for Rock Album Of The Year at the esteemed Juno Awards; and its most recent headliner selling out nearly every date in elite rooms.

Interestingly, amid all the positivity and connectivity injected into its creation there comes a dark set of themes underpinning the album, as its title might suggest.

Inspired by the past two years, Misery Made Me is a depiction of Silverstein – and world at large’s – collective turmoil, frustration, and anxiety.

“I wanted to explore the meaning of ‘Misery’ as a main theme throughout the album,”

says vocalist Shane Told.

“Despite the mountains climbed and boulders pushed during recent years, we were confronted by the weight and misery of staying relatively in the same place for a long period of time. Finding peace in the reality of this misery became important. The record is about the acceptance of a new reality and adapting to it.”

Ultimately, Misery Made Me finds the band trying to navigate the ever-worsening challenges of our modern world – angst, doomscrolling, and disassociation. It’s a record that is a product of the moment in time in which it was created yet doesn’t feel like it will date itself anytime soon, as many of its topics of loneliness, anxiety and isolation are eternal human struggles.

Show: Silverstein: Misery Made Me 2023

Date: April 2, 2023

Time: Doors at 6:00, Show at 7:00 PM

The Front Bottoms Stop at Sherman Theater on North American Tour 2022

The Front Bottoms Stop in Poconos at Stroudsburg’s Sherman Theater Sept 15

The Front Bottoms Stop at Sherman Theater on North American Tour 2022

Indie-rock outfit The Front Bottoms bring their 2022 tour to the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg on Thursday, September 15.

Opening for the band will be The Joy Formidable and Mobley.

In support of their new EP, Theresa, The Front Bottoms will hit the road for a five-week headline tour across North America.

The EP is led by the single “More Than It Hurts You.”

The five song collection serves as the third installment of the band’s popular Grandma EP series and features new recordings of never before released fan favorite songs.

During 2014, the guys unveiled the Rose EP named in honor of drummer Mat Uychich’s late grandmother who passed the same year. Four years later, the Ann EP followed in 2018 named after guitarist and vocalist Brian Sella’s grandmother. Theresa finds The Front Bottoms continuing the tradition by reheating tracks from their earliest days and properly releasing them for the first time.

The Front Bottoms headlined a special sold out three show residency at Jersey City’s White Eagle Hall this summer.

The Jersey City shows marked the first live performances from The Front Bottoms since the 2021 iteration of their popular year-end bash, Champagne Jam. Last year, The Front Bottoms shared the standalone singles “Lover Boy” and “Voodoo Magic,” the latter of which the band enlisted Matt Skiba of Blink-182 and Alkaline Trio to play guitar on.

Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Brian Sella and drummer Mathew Uychich, The Front Bottoms have gripped listeners and press around the world with their ragged honesty and emotional urgency.

In 2020, The Front Bottoms released their celebrated album, In Sickness & In Flames, a twelve song collection produced by Mike Sapone. A.V. Club declared, “The Front Bottoms are as vibrant as ever on In Sickness & In Flames, a reliably great collection of folk-punk anthems that rattle the soul with crunchy riffs, electrifying hooks, and Brian Sella’s idiosyncratic lyricism, which remains as amiable as it is anxiety-ridden.”

The Alternative detailed, “While In Sickness & In Flames was written prior to the pandemic, so much of it feels so tethered to our present collective experience, from the introspection and reflective growth that is showcased in the songwriting, to the sweeping highs and lows of the music itself. This album is the perfect companion piece to the anxiety of standing in the face of uncertainty.”

Show: The Front Bottoms with special guests The Joy Formidable and Mobley

Date: September 15, 2022

Time: Doors at 7:00 PM; Show at 8:00 PM

The Haxans Haunted House Tour Headed to Sherman Theater Oct 26

By Daisy Schneider — 2 years ago

The Haxans bring their Haunted House Party Tour to the Sherman Theater on October 26.

The Haxans are Ashley Costello, subcultural style icon and leader of Warped Tour screamo stars New Years Day, a seeming heir-apparent to the glory days of My Chemical Romance and AFI; and Matt Montgomery, better known by his alias Piggy D., bassist for over a decade with multi platinum shock rocker Rob Zombie, guitarist with horror punks Wednesday 13, and sometime visual and musical collaborator with rock icon Alice Cooper.

The Goth-pop duo, decked out in creep kitsch high fashion, and named after a silent film from the twenties about a 15th century German guide to hunting witches, THE HAXANS sound exactly like everything those images conjure.

The Haxans Haunted House Tour Headed to Sherman Theater

It’s the psycho-saccharine music of a fiendish creep’s fever dream… Classic art-house cinema, b-movie horror, spooky decadence, vintage American myth, and black roses dripping with blood are all tossed in The Haxans cauldron, like so many ingredients from a well worn book of spells.

The Haxans isn’t a side project. It’s the irrepressible, irresistible, and inevitable exorcism of the party-centric Halloween costume shop kicking around inside the brains and bodies of the group’s two co-conspirators.

Those who spell magic with a “k” and vampire with a “y,” who invoke ancient spirits in pursuit of a superstitiously serendipitous good time – all denizens of darkness will find sanctuary in the warm boudoir-like atmosphere of The Haxans, both on record and on the stage. The duo will take their late-night revelry around the world on the Haxans Haunted House Party Tour tour collecting a like minded cult of creepy obsessives, purveyors of the strange and unusual, and willfully charmed newcomers along the way.
