On Good Friday what better way to celebrate than with Raymond The Amish Comic, back for his 5th appearance!

Raymond the Amish Comic won't say whether he's actually Amish. "That's up to the audience to figure out," he laughed.

For over 20 years, he's held claim as being the only "Amish comic" in America.

Raymond was part of Sony Entertainments Theatrical Production of The Gong Show Live, cast in the role previously played by the Unknown Comic. The Gong Show Live did an Off-Broadway Run in 2011 and part of 2012. Recently, he was on America’s Got Talent on NBC, and is still bitter about not winning the million dollars, and he was also on Danielle Staub’s (Real House Wives of NJ) Wealth TV Reality Show “Social!”  He has also been on Mtv, Comedy Central and a handful of television commercials.  As for his movie credits, Raymond was in the Tim Allen Film, “For Richer For Poorer.” Raymond has appeared live on stage with Ian Anderson as part of the “Rubbing Elbows with Ian Anderson tour.” He’s a regular guest on the WZZO morning show with the Bearman & Keith and his other radio guest appearances include the Miserable Men Show on Howard 101 and Opie and Anthony on Sirius. He has also been on radio stations in Boston, Baltimore, NYC and Ohio. 

The show contains adult content and no one under 16 will not be admitted.

Tickets: $ 15.00 Advance - Tickets are also available Now at The Record Collector

Essra Mohawk's Official Web Page

We'll be celebrating RSD all day with special releases that are only available on this day! We'll also be serving up coffee & donuts!

50 years ago Essra's first record was released on Liberty! Celebrating this momentous occasion, Essra will be performing here  in Bordentown, NJ on the evening of Sat., April 19th!

Legendary singer-songwriter Essra Mohawk's music has been released on major labels for half a century! Rolling Stone called her 1970 album PRIMORDIAL LOVERS (Reprise) “one of the 25 best albums of all time” and DownBeat gave it 5 Stars. All Music Guide says Essra is “one of America’s rarest treasures” and England’s Melody Maker called her 1974 album ESSRA MOHAWK "the richest and most unheralded event in American music" that year.  

Essra's list of accomplishments is nearly endless. She has worked with world class artists such as Frank Zappa and Jerry Garcia, and has opened for greats such as Grateful Dead, Procol Harum, Jimi Hendrix and Cream. Her songs have been recorded by Cyndi Lauper, Tina Turner, Peabo Bryson and many others!

 Whether Billy Hector is teasing you with his sultry slidework, picking through delta blues or flat-out cranking it up and crunching out the electric blues/rock on his beloved vintage Fender Stratocaster, his   music reflects the true soul and origins of the blues; always passionate, engaging and dedicated to making the audience move and sweat.  Having honed his chops and style through three decades of performances, Hector is critically recognized as one of the hottest and most interesting guitarist/songwriters on the original circuit and has even been called “A New Jersey state treasure” by music writers.

Eryn Shewell embraces every opportunity to perform and write music. She is sought out by other artists as a backup singer because of her natural ability to harmonize. While in New Orleans she was honored to record vocals for blues veteran Walter "Wolfman" Washington's album Doing the Funky Thing.

 Since then she has then recorded and shared the stage with other artists such as Glen Burtnik, Marsha Ball, Eric Lindell, Sonny Landreth, Steve Ferrone, Bernard Purdy, and many more. 

In 2012 Eryn folded The Eryn Shewell Band after many years of touring back and forth from the Jersey shore to Nashville to New Orleans. In 2013 she signed with entertainment company Blue Raven Entertainment and started a new band called Eryn Shewell and the Whiskey Devils.  She just released her 4th album after rebulding her band as she looks to make a big move forward and follow in the footsteps of other NJ legends.

Eryn will be opening the show on this evening!
