SUMMARY:Kendall Street Company\, Dizgo
DESCRIPTION:Kendall Street Company\, Dizgo \nNectar’s & the Wonder Bar present the Asbury Jams 2023 series \nKendall Street Company – Virginia’s Kendall Street Company are no strangers to having a wild time. The genre-fluid\, eclectic rock ensemble has drawn varied comparisons to the dynamic jams of Umphrey’s McGee and Widespread Panic\, songwriting prowess of John Prine\, experimental psychedelia of Pink Floyd\, progressive jazz-infused rock of Frank Zappa\, and off-color humor of Ween and They Might Be Giants. Including elements of crowd participation\, off-the-cuff comedic bits\, haphazard choreography\, musical improvisation\, and surprise musical guests\, each Kendall Street Company concert is an experience unlike any other. You’ll laugh\, you’ll cry. Just remember to stay hydrated. \nIn addition to their reputation as must-see live performers\, the Company’s prolific immunity to writer’s block has led them to release over 100 original songs between seven studio albums\, two live albums\, and four EPs in a period of just six years. 2023 will see the release of (at least) an additional two studio records\, a handful of singles\, and who knows what else! \nDizgo  – Dizgo redefines the live experience by blending jamtronica with funk\, deep-groove soul\, and psychedelic rock\, taking the audience on a musical journey that includes intricate compositions and extended improvisation. The result is something both danceable and introspective: soulful vocals\, interweaving analog synths and shredding guitar all of which join forces under the banner of Dizgo. \n21+ admitted

SUMMARY:Asbury Park Concert Band
DESCRIPTION:The Asbury Park Concert Band at The Arthur Pryor Bandshell \nThursdays 7 pm from 7/6 to 8/31 \nFree Concerts / Family Friendly \nThe Asbury Park Concert Band will perform every Thursday evening in July and August at 7 pm at the Arthur Pryor Bandshell on the 5th Avenue Pavilion above the Asbury Park Boardwalk. \nThe newly restored bandshell was originally built in 1962 as a replacement for the original uncovered bandshell that had been on Eighth Avenue. The entrance is on Ocean Avenue next to the Iron Whale. There is an elevator and steps located on the south side of the 5th Ave Pavilion. \nThe City of Asbury Park has graciously donated use of the bandshell for these shows\, which the APCB and the Asbury Park Music Foundation greatly appreciate. Without their support and the support of the American Federation of Musicians and all our sponsors these events and others like it would not be possible. \n2023 Show Schedule \nJuly 6 – Patriotic (Children’s Concert)\nJuly 13 – Time For Some Jazz\nJuly 20 – Broadway Review (Children’s Concert)\nJuly 27 – Ladies Night\nAugust 3 – At The Movies\nAugust 10 – Water Music (Children’s Concert)\nAugust 17 – Music From Around the World\nAugust 24 – More Broadway\nAugust 31 – Salute to America (Children’s Concert) \nNow in its 78th season\, the band offers a varied musical selection from marches\, classical\, jazz\, Dixieland\, opera\, and big band to Broadway. Several concerts each year feature students from Monmouth County schools who perform along with the professional musicians. These popular shows provide students from middle to high school age a chance to fine tune their skills and experience performing in a professional setting. Donations to support this program are appreciated. \nQuestionable weather? Our conductor makes the call by 4 pm on the day of the show. Please be sure to follow APMF on Facebook and Instagram or check the conductor’s Facebook page John Luckenbill Bands – Asbury Park and Belmar.

SUMMARY:Duane Betts & Palmetto Hotel
DESCRIPTION:Duane Betts & Palmetto Hotel \nBy the time Duane Betts began working on Wild & Precious Life — his triumphant debut solo album — he’d already spent two decades creating his own version of guitar-slinging\, story-driven American rock & roll. \n“It felt like the right time to make something that was entirely my own vision\,” he says. “This is a record that guitar players will love\, but at its core\, it’s really a song record. It’s an album about who I am\, where I come from\, and what I believe in.” \nThe years leading up to Wild & Precious Life’s creation were a whirlwind. Duane cut his teeth with the bands Backbone69 and Whitestarr\, then spent the better part of ten years playing guitar alongside his father — legendary Allman Brothers co-founder Dickey Betts — as a member of Dickey Betts & Great Southern. He’d also travel the world as a touring member of Dawes before releasing an EP of his own songs\, Sketches of American Music\, in 2018. As the decade drew to a close\, Duane co-founded The Allman Betts Band\, releasing two records in 2019 and 2020. \nEven so\, the need to create a full-length solo album — one that nodded to his musical roots while simultaneously pushing ahead into new territory — continued to gnaw at him. “I wanted to make a record which would really capture that old school Florida vibe\,” says the Sarasota native. Following his instincts\, Duane assembled his dream team of musicians — including guitarist Johnny Stachela\, bassist Berry Duane Oakley\, keyboardist John Ginty\, and drummer Tyler Greenwell — and took up his old friends Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks on an offer to record at their own Swamp Raga Studio in Jacksonville. Wild & Precious Life was recorded to two-inch analog tape during a series of live-in-the-recording-studio performances in 2022. \n“We set up as a band\, tracked everything live\, and kept whichever takes had the magic\,” says Duane\, who co-produced the album with Stachela and Ginty. The band welcomed a number of guests into the fold too\, finding room for Marcus King (who swaps guitar solos with Duane on “Cold Dark World”)\, Nicki Bluhm (whose haunting harmonies run throughout the country-flavored “Colors Fade”)\, and Derek Trucks (who contributes searing guitar leads to the album highlight “Stare at the Sun”). Bobby Tis handled the album’s engineering duties\, while seven-time Grammy winner Jim Scott mixed. \nWild & Precious Life offers up a timeless version of American music — a mix of blues\, rock\, folk\, and country that could’ve blanketed the FM radio airwaves during any number of decades. It’s a modern album inspired by some of the best parts of the past\, full of sharply crafted songs written in a state of deep reflection and Duane’s journey toward sobriety. “Waiting on a Song” is a timeless tribute to patience\, faith\, and the muse itself\, laced with fiery fretwork from Duane’s Les Paul Gold Top. “Circles in the Stars” is equal parts cowboy campfire song and folk ballad\, with Duane singing a love letter to his wife over the earthy resonance of a vintage\, post-WWII Martin D28 acoustic guitar that once belonged to his father. The twin guitar harmonies that define “Stare at the Sun” breathe fresh life into southern rock. “I was inspired by a conversation I’d had with Derek\, where he was talking about my father’s guitar playing\,” Duane explains. “He told me\, ‘Your dad is one of those players who’s not afraid to stare directly into the sun\,’ and I loved that line. I was already working on a new song\, and Derek’s sentiment gave the song a center.” Even the album’s instrumental track\, “Under the Bali Moon\,” seems to conjure up its own storyline\, thanks to a combination of evocative slide guitar and non-western twinkles of piano. \nWild & Precious Life captures the emotional release of overcoming struggle\, appreciating the fleeting nature of life\, and celebrating the joy of being present. \nWild and precious\, indeed. \n21 and up admitted

SUMMARY:Glenn Alexander & Shadowland
DESCRIPTION:Glenn Alexander & Shadowland \nGlenn Alexander\, lead guitarist of NJ’s famed Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes\, brings his other band The Shadowland Band’ to the Wonder Bar for a special summer show. Glenn will be joined on stage by the Jukes Horn section: Chris Anderson\, John Isley\, Neal Pawley and his daughter Oria. It’s a two-set show starting at 9 pm with the second set starting at 10:30. \n“Alexander himself is a bit of a shadowy phantom. Raised on southern rock and midwest blues\, he’s studied jazz and progressive rock and plays the six-string like a feral beast … Shadowland (the album) has flavors of Memphis\, Chicago\, Jersey City\, all in the mix. It’s blues rock\, but then again not. It’s Southern rock\, but then again more. It’s rock and roll\, slathered in funky soul with a machine-gun guitar at its forefront. It’s Glenn Alexander and company at their very best\, and it absolutely should be in your collection.” J.D. Nash – American Blues Scene \n21 AND UP ADMITTED
