I was impressed with the set(s) and the way in which they were able to effectively convey you through the story. There were only three individuals involved in the play (unless you count the two individuals tasked with rotating the set) and they did a great job. While Lex Friedman and Mike D'Altrui gave their all to their parts, Pamela Wilterdink was the absolute star of the show! The theatre itself is quite nice - small and clean with a nice concession stand. The popcorn was very tasty and a nice touch.

The Colts Neck Community Band is now in it's eleventh season and is one of the best community bands in the state. At least it's the best band *I've* ever played with. We are about 100 professional and amateur musicians and perform at our "home", Colts Neck High School, in the Spring and Fall plus additional venues around the county. Selections range from classical pieces to marches and show tunes. Our concerts are free, but we do accept donations which fund a scholarship for our members who are high school seniors going on to major in music. Now that I'm getting better at posting events, I'll be sure to add our upcoming concert dates on Yelp as they approach. Please come join us - it's money well (un)spent!

The Secret Behind the Magic of The Stone Pony is Community…read more There is something about The Stone Pony that goes beyond music. What made the venue legendary was never the walls, the bar, or even the stage lights. It was the community. In the 1970s and 1980s, Asbury Park became a kind of laboratory for musicians. Night after night, artists gathered in clubs along the Jersey Shore to play, experiment, collaborate, and refine their craft in front of real audiences. The Stone Pony became one of the central meeting points for this growing creative ecosystem. Musicians sat in with each other's bands, traded ideas, tested new songs, and sometimes performed several nights a week. Instead of guarding their talent, they shared it. Instead of competing, they elevated one another. Out of that environment emerged artists who would later become internationally known, including Bruce Springsteen, Southside Johnny, and Steven Van Zandt. They were shaped by thousands of hours playing together in small rooms filled with passionate listeners. The sound that developed in Asbury Park reflected this collaboration. It blended rock, soul, rhythm and blues, and big-band horn arrangements into what many came to call the Jersey Shore sound. Part of what made this ecosystem so special was the geography. Within just a few walkable blocks were other gathering places where musicians and fans flowed throughout the night, including Asbury Lanes, Tim McLoone's Supper Club, and the legendary Wonder Bar, all just steps from the Atlantic Ocean and the Asbury Park boardwalk. Music, ocean air, and a close-knit creative community blended together in a vibrant hub where musicians could play one venue and then wander down the block to hear another band. My curiosity about this history grew from a personal place. Over the past year my son, Chris Renner, a young guitar player who has only been playing for two years, has had the opportunity to perform rock cover songs on stages throughout Asbury Park. Chris's playing has reminded many listeners of the legendary precision and melodic passion of Randy Rhoads. His style focuses on melodic solos and phrasing influenced by classical music rather than typical head-banging metal. Because of the NJ music community, Chris has already had the opportunity to perform as lead guitarist on stages including The Stone Pony, Asbury Lanes, Tim McLoone's, Wonder Bar, and even the Ozzy Osbourne Tribute Show at the Cutting Room in Manhattan. Watching him step onto those stages sparked a deeper interest in the story behind the NJ music scene and the culture that continues to nurture musicians today. One of the most interesting aspects of the Asbury Park scene is how cover music and original music live side by side. Many bands begin by performing well-known songs while gradually introducing their own material. The cover band scene plays an important role. It allows musicians to build stage experience, connect with audiences, and become part of the local circuit. Those shared songs create a common language between bands and fans and foster a welcoming camaraderie. Something even more inspiring has been happening recently. Several of Chris's friends from the local music community have begun forming their own original bands and performing their own songs. Chris loves supporting them, showing up to their shows and cheering them on as they cheer him. This is how music scenes grow. Musicians celebrate the music that inspired them, refine their skills through live performance, collaborate with other players, and eventually discover their own voice. Even today the Stone Pony carries that legacy. Musicians still show up, plug in, and play. Fans still crowd close to the stage the way they did decades ago. Great cultural movements rarely begin in boardrooms or corporate offices. They begin in communities, in small venues, shared stages, and the willingness of people to create together. The Stone Pony and the Asbury Park music community are proof that when talent, opportunity, and collaboration come together in one place, something extraordinary can happen.

Brookdale Community College radio station 90.5 The Night presents free concerts on the Belmar beach…read moreevery Thursday evening during summer months. There are two acts and the first performer starts at 7 pm. The musicians and the audience are all outside so weather may be an issue (if necessary they might move inside the Taylor Pavillion). Bring your beach chairs and coolers filled with adult beverages. Arrive by 640 pm and you will get a good spot. The location for a concert is good and the sun sets behind the performers. The only negative is that the performers are literally on the boardwalk and people keep walking behind the drummer. Check the schedule for names you recognize or just show up and you may be pleasantly surprised to discover a new band or singer. Some acts are great: eg Sonny Landreth on 7/27/17.
