With Hey Nineteen

The organizers of Newport’s beloved Broadway Street Fair are kicking off the 2025 season with our 2 nd annual

Concert and Fundraiser starring Hey Nineteen on Thursday, May 22nd at the Jane Pickens Film and Event Center

located at 49 Touro Street in Newport RI. Come out to help support the Broadway Street Fair , the best annual event

produced by locals for our local community. Hey Nineteen is recognized as the most authentic sounding Steely Dan

tribute worldwide. Since 2012 this 11 piece steely machine amazes it’s audience with the ability to accurately

reproduce the Steely Dan Sound and include a high energy show. Hey Nineteen is comprised of top professional

musicians, many of whom have performed with Grammy- winning, international artists. Hey Nineteen brings the big

hits and the deep cuts, from ‘Do It Again’ to ‘Your Gold Teeth II’, from ‘Reelin’ in the Years’ to “Doctor Wu” and “Peg”

many more. Hey Nineteen will amaze you with their exacting solos (as originally recorded), vocals, harmonies, and

musicality, all while keeping you moving with their high energy stage show.

We are thrilled to be welcoming Hey Nineteen to Newport and for a unique twist, we are seeking help from the public

in selecting a great local band or performer to open up the show!

Broadway Street Fair is always on the hunt for new local talent to showcase, so this year we have some community

submitted acts for the public to vote upon! So far over 13 performers have sent a video for consideration. The BSF

Team will review and narrow down these submissions to a select group and will publish those names and video links

publicly on social media to give everyone the opportunity to vote for a favorite from 4/21/25 through 5/1/25. We plan

to announce a winner on 5/1/2025. We’re calling the contest “The People’s Choice”, and we really mean it! We want

to give the many friends of the Broadway Street Fair and our local community members a chance to submit a song

and then let the public vote for a performer that they want to see open up the show! The winner will be our opening

act on 5/22/25.

Every October, The Broadway Street Fair celebrates the heart of Newport - the Local Broadway District - six

blocks of awesomeness, packed with great bars, indie restaurants, coffee shops, live music, and more. This is the

cultural heart of Newport, where locals go to have a good time, enjoy the diverse eateries and meet friends.

An estimated 12,000 patrons strolled along Newport’s historic Main Street and major artery into the city this

year and celebrated the diversity that Newport is known for. This year’s event is again brought to the public through

the efforts of Newport This Week, the City of Newport, Little Rhody Pasta, Up All Night Productions, the Greater

Newport Chamber of Commerce, A1 Roofing & Construction, Newport Tent Co./Peak Event Services, Teri Degnan

Real Estate and Consulting LTD, Discover Newport, Peoples Credit Union, Newport Mansions and many, many more.

Tickets are $40.00 General Admission and are available online at www.janepickens.com . A VIP option with

included band photo op and opportunity to select seating is $55.
