Jon Bon Jovi to Join Stephen Colbert for Montclair Film Festival Conversation
Get ready for an evening of music, stories, and inspiration! Montclair Film Festival has just announced that Jersey legend Jon Bon Jovi will join Stephen Colbert for the festival’s signature conversation at NJPAC. The event takes place on Saturday, October 26.
As the frontman of Grammy-winning Bon Jovi, he’s written and performed iconic rock anthems, sold over 130 million albums and toured in 50+ countries. He’s been inducted into the Rock and Roll and Songwriters Halls of Fame. Basically, he’s seen a million faces and rocked them all!
Bon Jovi’s talents also extend to the big screen. He’s had roles in “Moonlight and Valentino,” “Little City” and “No Looking Back.” He received an Academy Award® nomination for his role as a composer in “Young Guns II.” The new docuseries “Thank You, Goodnight” was released this year on Hulu. It features 40 years of archival footage, songs, and performances that chart Bon Jovi’s rise from Jersey Shore clubs to the biggest stages on the planet.
“We are thrilled to welcome Jon Bon Jovi to the Montclair Film Festival and to share what promises to be a special evening of conversation,” said Montclair Film Artistic Director and Co-Head Tom Hall. “As an artist who embodies empathy and community, Jon’s work represents the values that inspire everything we do at Montclair Film.”
