Arts at the Palace in Hamilton is pleased to announce Jess Novak and Ben Wayne will perform live at the Palace Theater at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 25.

This musical duo and couple blends their combination of styles and talents to hit a piece of everything. With a repertoire spanning The Grateful Dead to Chris Stapleton to TLC to Sublime - paired with dozens of original songs from each - this team has something for everyone.

Wayne’s room-stopping voice is enough to grab the attention of any crowd. Mix that along with his incredibly catchy songwriting and deft acoustic guitar skills and he’s a powerful one-man show.

Blended with Novak’s smooth electric violin work, equally accomplished songwriting and similarly strong voice and this is a team of equals - but each offer something unique and always exciting to the combination. Wayne and Novak don’t just sing into the mic, they sing across it, often sharing songs for and about each other. That intimacy adds something stand-alone to their show - one that’s infectious with sincerity.

They’ll perform a mix of pop, rock, reggae and soul with Gavin George on percussion. Tickets are $10 and available by visiting artsatthepalace.org.

The Jess Novak and Ben Wayne performance is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Governor's Office and the New York State Legislature.
