Stephen Day at the Wonder Bar
2025-11-20 19:00 - 23:00 | Wonder Bar, 1213 Ocean Ave, Asbury Park, 07712
STEPHEN DAY
Gold Mine Tour
with Aubory Bugg
“When you hear something that makes you feel alive, that reminds you just how precious and beautiful this world can be, there’s nothing else quite like it,” says Stephen Day. “It’s like striking gold.”
Day should know. Gold Mine, the Georgia native’s latest full-length album, is a dazzling, genre-blending triumph, one that proudly wears its heart on its sleeve as it tips its cap to everything from Frank Sinatra and Glen Campbell to John Mayer and Stevie Wonder. Written and recorded in Day’s adopted hometown of Nashville, the collection pairs vintage melodic sensibilities with a modern sonic palette to forge a warm, lush sound that’s equal parts neo-soul and classic country. Hot on the album’s heels, Day is back with an upcoming three-track companion EP that picks up where the original record left off.
The son of a pastor and a nurse practitioner, Day first discovered the power of music in church, where he was surrounded by singers and instruments every Sunday morning. At 18, he moved to Nashville, and the next year, he released his breakout debut EP, Undergrad Romance and the Moses in Me. Since then, Day has amassed more than 140 million streams, landed a record deal with Riser House, earned a sync placement in the Will Ferrell comedy Strays, and toured with the likes of Stephen Sanchez, Teddy Swims, Allen Stone, Lawrence, and Ben Rector.

Mothguts & We Used To Cut The Grass + Mono Means One at the Wonder Bar
2025-11-21 19:00 - 23:30 | Wonder Bar, 1213 Ocean Ave, Asbury Park, 07712
Mothguts 20th Anniversary Show & We Used to Cut the Grass
plus Mono Means One
MOTHGUTS
Mothguts is a New Jersey–based instrumental quartet known for smashing together the worlds of death metal, free jazz, grunge, grindcore, noise, and sludge into a relentless sonic assault. Founded in 2005, the band has carved out a reputation for fearless experimentation, chaotic energy, and a sound that refuses to be contained by genre.
The lineup features Mike Noordzy on bass, Ben Ross on drums, Anthony Ware on alto saxophone, and Chris Welcome on guitar. Together, they’ve cultivated a brutal yet boundary-defying aesthetic, marked by blistering improvisation and crushing heaviness.
Now celebrating their 20th anniversary, Mothguts remains a singular force in the underground, revered for their uncompromising creativity and blistering live shows. Two decades in, the band continues to blur boundaries and challenge listeners with music that is as punishing as it is visionary.
WE USED TO CUT THE GRASS
We Used to Cut the Grass is a shapeshifting experimental ensemble led by composer/bassist Cody McCorry, most frequently appearing as a 10-piece band known for heavy brass and two tightly synchronized drum kits. Heavily inspired by the likes of Frank Zappa, John Zorn and Sun Ra, the band has roots in the blurred zone between progressive rock and jazz fusion, but has since stretched further into post-rock and experimental endeavors, reaching from orchestral/chamber works to absurdist sound collage. The group’s sophomore album, “We Used to Cut the Grass #2,” is the follow up to their similarly self-titled album released in 2022. It has been described by math rock periodical Fecking Bahamas as “a much needed joyride.” On the album and its composer, Prog Critique has this to say: “I don’t know if he’s a genius or a brilliant madman… [the album] surprises, it disorients, as much as it captivates… have we ever seen a band cover such a rich palette?”
MONO MEANS ONE
Mono Means One is a psychedelic prog trio and the brainchild of bassist and composer John Ferrara, best known as the bass player and co-founder of the acclaimed world fusion band “Consider the Source.” Mono Means One’s sound contains melancholic melodies, rich sonic textures with Drum ‘N’ Bass grooves and Mathrock sensibilities. Half composed and half improvised, the music is often dark, with moments of calm serenity and other times heavy, oscillating between chill grooves to almost unbearable intensity. Originally composed entirely on the bass guitar, John paired up with Rob Madore (Drums) and Isaac Young (Keys) to add intensely nuanced beats with futuristic colorful sonic textures. All three members produce a sound that is powerful and unique all to their own.
Ferrara has been dubbed the “Unsung Genius” of bass tapping by bass sensation Charles Berthoud, is a teacher at Scotts Bass Lessons, and has been featured in Bass Magazine, NoTreble, Bass Musician magazine among many other publications.

Marshall Crenshaw at the Wonder Bar
2025-11-22 19:00 - 23:00 | Wonder Bar, 1213 Ocean Ave, Asbury Park, 07712
Born in 1953 in Detroit, Marshall Crenshaw learned to tune a guitar at age 10. His first big break came in 1978 playing John Lennon in Beatlemania, first as an understudy in New York, then in the West Coast company and the national touring company. He settled in New York City, enthralled by its diverse musical culture, and formed a rock ‘n’ roll band with his brother Robert on drums and Chris Donato on bass.
He recorded his debut single Something’s Gonna Happen at nearly the same time as legendary rockabilly singer Robert Gordon’s recording of Marshall’s Someday Someway was released as a single by RCA. These two records simultaneously broke big on New York’s WNEW-FM, causing Marshall and his trio’s local popularity to explode.
And so began a career that’s spanned four decades, 13 albums, Grammy and Golden Globe nominations, film and TV appearances (Buddy Holly in La Bamba) and thousands of live performances.
Marshall Crenshaw’s musical output has maintained a consistent fidelity to the qualities of artfulness, craftsmanship and passion. His efforts have been rewarded with the devotion of a broad and loyal fan base. Along with touring the country and the occasional recording session, other current projects include producing a documentary film about legendary record producer Tom Wilson.
“This is a road that I’d never imagined taking before, but it’s been an incredible learning experience,” says Crenshaw.
“Although he was seen as a latter-day Buddy Holly at the outset, he soon proved too talented and original to be anyone but himself.” — Trouser Press

STATUS GREEN 20TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW at the Stone Pony
2025-11-28 19:00 - 23:30 | The Stone Pony
Status Green
20th Anniversary Show
The boys are back in town! Asbury Park hometown rockers Status Green return to the Stone Pony for a much anticipated all original members reunion!
Status Green is Lou Montesano (lead vox), Chris Marino (guitar), Russell Tolas (bass guitar), and Mike Montalto (drums).
Status Green returns to their home stage at The Stone Pony to celebrate their 20th anniversary. The band cut their teeth prior to the resurgence of the city by the sea, when Asbury Park was a faded dream and live music was the only thing keeping it alive. Status Green immediately carved a name for themselves as the premier live act in Asbury Park, as they made an indelible mark on the scene with guaranteed sold-out shows and an unwavering cult following of thousands. After nine years of going dark, the pop-rock quartet was invited back last year to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Pony and they delivered a performance to a sold-out crowd that earned them recognition as one of the most iconic hometown bands in Asbury Park’s storied music history.
