Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers at the Stone Pony
2026-04-24 19:00 - 23:00 | The Stone Pony
Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers burst onto the Philadelphia music scene in 1984 debuting at JC Dobbs at 3rd and South. Conwell, born in East Falls and raised in Bala Cynwyd, quickly rose to the top of the Philly rock n roll food chain by providing long, sweaty, bluesy, and often transcendent shows that audiences ate up as something different from what they were being offered elsewhere. Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers made the hugely popular independent album Walking on the Water in 1987 and two albums for Columbia records, 1988s Rumble and 1990s Guitar Trouble. Rumble yielded a number one hit on the Billboard Album Rock chart, Im Not Your Man. It was around this time that The Young Rumblers were featured in Rolling Stone magazine and appeared on Dick Clarks American Music Awards, Late Night with David Letterman, and the Arsenio Hall Show. The nineties saw Tommy leading Tommy Conwell and the Little Kings, an outrageous blues/punk/jazz/rock n roll audacity and playing guitar in the loud power pop juggernaut Buzz Zeemer. He still performs with the Young Rumblers who released Showboats and Grandstanders in 2019, and down the shore in with his four piece rock and roll band formed in 2024. The Pony will be a full band show!

Sandy Mack's Wonder Jam at the Wonder Bar 💀
2026-04-26 14:30 - 18:00 | Wonder Bar, 1213 Ocean Ave, Asbury Park, 07712
Sandy Mack’s Wonder Jam
featuring Sandy Mack & Friends
Sandy Mack leads a stellar rotating house band for two long sets of classic rock, jam and blues with plenty of good ol’ Grateful Dead!
To the Jersey Shore music fans, he is an ambassador of everything good about our music scene whose presence is familiar as a favorite club or neighborhood watering hole. To his fellow music makers, he’s the go-to man for all manner of sessions and sitting-in situations; a blues harp ace who can stake out harmonious common ground with acoustic old-schoolers, supercharged ax slingers, roots rockers and alt-Americana songsmiths alike — or as local radio linchpin Rich Robinson said, “he could sit in with anybody like he’s played with them forever.”
Sandy Mack is the ultimate ringmaster of a musical ritual that rivals any family’s most cherished Sunday-sauce tradition. The Wonder Jam continues with an extended fanbase of musical regulars, guest players, fans, friends, and always interesting cast of Asbury Park characters now know as the “Jamily” putting the spotlight on the Asbury Park music community.
