EDITOR’S PICK
Destination Motown
Saturday, December 28, 8 p.m.

One of New Jersey’s best-kept secrets and the longtime favorite house band at New York City’s famed Copacabana, the Sensational Soul Cruisers are not your average 11-man vocal harmony group with horns. While it may be possible to find a band with a similar lineup, it’s unlikely you’ll ever find another that performs with as much energy, passion and talent. Tickets are $55.
