Jakob Dylan and The Wallflowers Mark the 30th Anniversary of Their Landmark Album Bringing Down the Horse with a Visit to New Jersey This Summer

The Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre at the Count Basie Center is one of those classic Jersey spots that’s been around forever. It opened back in the 1920s as a movie theater, and over time turned into a go-to place for concerts, comedy, and live shows.

It’s right in Red Bank and still has that old-school feel, even with updates over the years. It's a great venue, cool vibe, and always something going on.

I have always enjoyed going to the Count Basie for concerts. Red Bank itself is a nice town to visit with a great dining and shopping scene.

Are The Wallflowers Touring In The U.S. This Summer (2026)?

Yes, the Wallflowers are touring the U.S. this summer, and yes, they are coming to New Jersey. The band is celebrating the 30th Anniversary of their landmark album "Bringing Down The Horse."

When The Wallflowers dropped Bringing Down the Horse on May 21, 1996, it was everywhere—and honestly, it still holds up. It’s got that easy, rootsy rock feel with real, no-frills songwriting. Jakob Dylan—son of Bob Dylan—keeps it simple, and it works.

When Are The Wallflowers Coming to the Count Basie Center for the Arts?

The Wallflowers are playing at the Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre at the Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank on Monday, August 17th, 2026, at 7:30 PM.

It will be a great night of music in Monmouth County this summer. "The band will perform their classic album in its entirety, in sequence." A truely unique experience for fans to enjoy.
