The Roches to Perform at Ramapo College

(Mahwah) - The Roches, who blend influences from church choir music, traditional Irish folk, contemporary folk, rock, country and pop with their own innate musical sensibilities, will perform in the Sharp Theater on the campus of Ramapo College Friday, March 7 at 8 p.m.

Suzzy and Maggie Roche have been singing together for most of their lives.  Together with sister, Terre, they formed The Roches and recorded ten albums and, for over twenty years, performed all over the United States and Europe.

Their debut “The Roches” was named album of the year by The New York Times.  They were hailed as the “Best Vocal Group” by the New York Music Awards.”  They have recorded and written music for movies and television, including their own episode of Steven Spielberg’s Tiny Toon Adventures and the score for Crossing Delancey, which included a cameo role for Suzzy.  They have performed and recorded with Philip Glass, Paul Simon and The Indigo Girls, among others.

Tickets cost $26, $23 and $20 for adults and $15 for children under 17.  Senior citizens will receive a five percent discount off regular ticket prices. 

The Sharp Theater is located at the Angelica and Russ Berrie Center for Performing and Visual Arts on the Ramapo College campus.  For more information call 201.684.7844.
