Join us on the First Avenue Green Space this Wednesday night for Asbury Park LIVE, a free summer concert series to benefit the Asbury Park Music Foundation.
MUSIC STARTS AT 7:00 PM
Sean Tobin & The Boardwalk Fire
Influenced by folk-singing troubadours and high-energy rockers alike, Sean Tobin and the Boardwalk Fire are a tireless, high-powered rock group that blow the roof off of every venue they play. From hard-hitting drum fills and ambient fiddle riffs, to crunchy guitars and booming bass-lines, the band invites any crowd in for a show that will make them forget about life for a while.
Jackson Pines
“[A] duo from Jersey — Jackson, to be specific, nestled in the pine barrens — core members Joe Makoviecki (vocals, guitar) and James Black (bass) teamed up with some heavy-hitting friends for their debut LP Purgatory Road, which came out on February 8th. Simone Felice produced the record in his Sugar Mountain Studio in Palenville, NY and played drums; James Felice
contributed piano and organ throughout the set as well. As such, the record is an expert set of indie folk, drawing on the melodies and arrangements of bluegrass and mountain music but incorporating it tastefully into Makoviecki’s songs, which are very much of the now.” - John Vettese, WXPN, The Key
"...like a mash-up of James Taylor and Tom Petty -- with serious focus on acoustic guitar [...] Jackson Pines already have a collection of music that presents a unique lyrical take on life, bringing a rustic flair to the world of indie-folk/acoustic music [...] they've only just begun." - Billboard magazine
This event is only made possible through the generosity of its sponsors: Tito’s Vodka, MOGO Korean Fusion Tacos, Asbury Park Food Collective, Watermark, The Lakehouse, The Stone Pony, Lakeland Bank, Asbury Sunset, Ansell Grimm & Aaron, & Last Wave Brewery.
