The VERVE - Crowne Plaza Natick Presents: Howard Jones

Howard Jones performs live on Friday, March 20th at The VERVE - Crowne Plaza Natick.

On Friday, March 20th, The VERVE – Crowne Plaza Natick is offering a musical treat with a live and intimate performance by synth-pop sensation Howard Jones. This Violet Jam concert is one of the many stops on Jones’ North American tour where he’ll be playing his unique sound at a variety of venues.

In the early 80s, Jones hit the American music scene with a synthesized pop sound that helped to define that genre of music. He paved the way for current electronic dance music DJs and producers by doing live performances using electronic technology way before the time of the sophisticted software used by today’s artists. His hit singles include “Revolution Of The Heart,” “What Is Love” and chart toppers like “Things Can Only Get Better” and “No One Is To Blame.” Concert goers will not only enjoy those popular tracks, but also songs from his latest album, Ordinary Heroes.

Whether you spent the 80s grooving to his hits, or you’re curious about the pioneer of your favorite electronic dance music beats, don’t miss Jones’ live Violet Jam performance.
