We had a wonderful conversation about the Asbury Park Live Summer Concert Series – nine free concerts that will take place Wednesday nights on the Asbury Park Boardwalk First Ave Green Space!! Joining us were Tim Cabrey (Asbury Sunset), Jim Lenskold (Asbury Park Music Foundation), Russell Lewis (Watermark-Asbury Park), and Brian Erickson (Frontman of The Extensions, solo artist, podcaster, and concert promoter)! These gentlemen, along with the Asbury Park Music Foundation and many others who we mention in our discussion, work tirelessly (and often anonymously) behind the scenes to promote and uplift the local talented musicians here.
The FREE summer concert performances are the perfect outing for families, Asbury Park visitors, and music fans alike. Each Wednesday show features some of the hottest musical acts from our area, as well as opening sets by Lakehouse Music Academy students! The shows run from 7-10pm so bring your beach chairs and get ready to listen to stellar music under the stars!
Now, all of this could not take place without the support and financial backing of these very generous sponsors: the omnipresent/always philanthropic MOGO Korean Fusion Tacos, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Watermark-Asbury Park, Asbury Sunset, Lakehouse Music Academy, The Stone Pony, Lakeland Bank, Asbury Park Food Collective, Ansell Law, and Last Wave Brewing Company!
The Asbury Park Live Summer Concert Series is to benefit the Asbury Park Music Foundation, the heartbeat of this vibrant local music community. As you enjoy the live music, feel free to make a donation if you are able. There are several ways in which you can help; such as by giving to the collection bucket at the shows, by purchasing APMF merchandise, or by purchasing a specialty summer cocktail at Watermark where a portion will be given to the Foundation.
We look forward to seeing you every Wednesday this summer from 7-10 pm at the First Avenue Green Space! Check out the schedule below and listen to our fun conversation via podcast or YouTube!!
