Yoga with Love-Learn to Read the Tarot (Minor Arcana)
2024-11-14 18:30 - 20:30 | Yoga With Love, 417 Euclid Ave, Loch Arbour, NJ, 07711, United States
Learn to Read the Tarot (Minor Arcana) with Amy Novack
Tarot cards can help us to zero in on what is truly in our subconscious, in our hearts. The cards help us to pause, reconnect and discover our deep truths.
In this two-part series, we will discuss how to:
• Establish a connection to our decks and our intuition
• ground ourselves before and clear after a reading
• use different spreads to assist your reading
Part I – will focus on the Major Arcana. These 22 cards represent archetypal images and energies, they are the cards that are not suited. They represent the major twists and turns in your life.
Part II – will focus on the Minor Arcana. There are 56 Minor Arcana cards which are divided into 4 suits. We will delve into the suited cards which focus on the current challenges and opportunities you face on a daily basis.
If you have a deck please bring it and a journal. There will be decks to use but it is nice to have your own, and there will be homework between classes!
Thursdays 6:30–8:30pm
• Part I- Major Arcana 10/17/24 -$45
• Part II- Minor Arcana, 11/14/24 -$45

Mondo Cozmo
2024-11-07 19:00 | Wonder Bar, 1213 Ocean Ave, Asbury Park, 07712
Mondo Cozmo
with special guest Jane Leo
Mondo Cozmo, aka Josh Ostrander, is a Philly-raised, West Coast-based rock & roll songsmith. This is for the Barbarians is his third album following his 2020 release, New Medicine, and 2017’s Plastic Soul. This is for the Barbarians should be consumed as a singular piece. A complete idea. It has a beginning and an end. It’s a story. It weighs heavy on the death of Ostrander’s uncle while at the same time celebrating life. It’s dark and beautiful. It’s bright and funny. It’s the human experience in a year of isolation. It’s a slice of Ostrander’s liver and a piece of his heart.

FANTASTIC CAT
2024-11-02 19:00 - 23:30 | The Stone Pony
Fantastic Cat returns to Asbury Park for a headline show at the Pony!
Hailed by Rolling Stone as “the supergroup you need to know,” Fantastic Cat released their debut, The Very Best of Fantastic Cat, in 2022. The collection earned the vocal-trading, instrument-swapping collective their national TV debut, sold out headline dates around the U.S. and Europe, a performance at the Sundance Film Festival, and a song in the Paramount+ series Tulsa King. In 2023, the velvet-suited four-piece teamed up with all-star producer Butch Walker for a 50th anniversary take on Band on the Run,” which reportedly prompted Paul McCartney to question his entire life’s work.
Individually, each member of Fantastic Cat boasts their own impressive resume along with appearances everywhere from the New York Times and the Tiny Desk to Bonnaroo and Cayamo. NPR said Anthony D’Amato “sings and writes in the tradition of Bruce Springsteen or Josh Ritter.” Paste declared Don DiLego’s latest album a “stunner.” Rolling Stone called Brian Dunne’s new record “the sleeper album of the year” and praised Mike Montali’s band, Hollis Brown, as “the soundtrack for a late-night drive through the American heartland.”
Where the band’s debut showcased the quartet as individual songwriters, their latest, Now That’s What I Call Fantastic Cat, finds the group writing collectively for the first time, leaning into their respective strengths to craft an alternately poignant and absurdist portrait of a modern world populated by disgraced heroes, disenchanted dreamers, and dead end jobs. The songs are at once hopeful and mordant, reckoning with a reality less shiny than it once seemed by refusing to succumb to the weight of disillusionment, and the performances are relentlessly buoyant to match, fueled by infectious hooks, lush harmonies, and gleefully unpredictable arrangements. Think CSNY if none of them were famous, or The Traveling Wilburys if none of them were famous, or the Eagles if they really didn’t get along.
“A wildly satisfying collection of folk-rock, country, Americana, and good old rock & roll…equal doses of Dylan and Springsteen,” says Rolling Stone

42nd Annual Candlelight Concert and Reception
2024-10-27 16:00 - 19:00 | N
All Saints’ Memorial Church, “The Stone Church”, will host its 42nd Annual Candlelight Concert and Reception on Sunday, October 27 at 4:00 pm at 202 Navesink Avenue, Atlantic Highlands. This year’s event will feature Eric Wyrick, violinist and concertmaster of the New Jersey Symphony; Jonathan Spitz, celloist, also with the New Jersey Symphony; and piano soloist and chamber musician Yun Kyung Rachel Choo. The evening’s program will include selections from J.S. Bach, Debussy, Mendelsshon and Amy Beach. The church’s historic stone structure, beautiful stained-glass windows, and excellent acoustics provide a beautiful setting for the event’s traditional classical program, making it a popular event during the fall season.
A reception will follow in the church’s parish house. Tickets are $45 per person and a variety of sponsorship opportunities are available. Reservations can be made online at http://bit.ly/3z1KP46 or call 732-291-0214 for more information.
Early in the years of the Civil War, the Milnor and Stephens families provided the land and paid for the building of All Saints’ Memorial Church in Navesink, then called Riceville. They chose the architectural firm of Richard Upjohn. Upjohn was well known for his English Gothic Revival church designs and was the architect of Trinity Church, Wall Street. The church building was consecrated in 1864 and was followed by the construction of the parish house, barn and carriage sheds, all of which stand today. All Saints’ Memorial Church was officially designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1988 and is considered a prime example of 19th century ecclesiastical design.

“Grace -N- Grit "~ Michael Longo & Friends Group Exhibition
2024-10-26 18:00 - 22:00 | parlor gallery, 717 Cookman Ave, Asbury, 07712
“Grace -N- Grit” Exhibition Honors the Legacy of Michael Longo: Artist & Friend
In a tribute to one of its most cherished family members, Parlor Gallery presents “Grace -N- Grit,” an exhibition celebrating the extraordinary life and work of Michael Longo.
Opening Saturday, October 26th, from 6-10 PM, this intimate showcase brings together Longo’s previously unseen works alongside pieces by 18 artists who shared his creative journey, perspective and friendship.
Michael Longo, who passed away in April 2024, known for his masterful paintings as much as his magnetic personality at Bond Street Bar, Longo lived his life as an artwork in itself – full of beautiful contradictions. “He would tuck a small, delicate flower behind his ear while bartending, and simultaneously curse and possibly throw someone out for their bad behavior. These contradictions were endless and wonderful, teaching us to accept all sides of ourselves.” -Jill Ricci (his partner in love and life)
Michael embodied grace in its truest forms – both as a presence that honored every space he entered and as an expression of elegant, courteous goodwill. Paired with his remarkable grit – that unwavering courage and strength of character – these qualities defined him, shining brightest even during his illness.
He had many passions aside from visual art, and he imbued all of them with the same attention, care and adoration. Life as Art. Even during his battle with Stage 4 cancer, Longo’s creative spirit never dimmed. When traditional oil paints became too toxic, he adapted, turning to gouache and watercolor. When neuropathy made his hands nearly unusable, he continued creating in whatever way he could.
“Michael’s development as an artist and person was inspiring. He spent every available moment drawing, painting, working on his cars and trucks, cooking and learning. He kept some of these passions close to his heart, but when he shared them, they never failed to impress. Whichever version of Michael you knew or talents he shared with you, he somehow made you feel important for it. Full of compassion, creativity, emotion, humor, elegance and vitriol, he focused it into his body of work that is over-whelming, awe-inspiring and beautiful.” ~ Pat James Longo
“Mike was a true creative to his core,” says Parlor Gallery’s Jenn Hampton. “Even though he has physically left us, his imprint on Asbury Park and our community will remain. This is the true gift of a Creative: that through their Art and actions, they become immortal.”
