Sandy Mack’s Wonder Jam
2025-04-06 15:00 - 20:00 | 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! Live music starts early at 4:20 with special guest openers and surprise guest musicians.
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 weekly ritual that rivals any family’s most cherished Sunday-sauce tradition. The Wonder Jam 2025 returns with an extended fanbase of musical regulars, guest players, fans, friends, and always interesting cast of Asbury Park characters now known as the “Jamily.” Join us when Sandy Mack’s Sunday Jam comes home to the Wonder Bar!

Jake Thistle’s Birthday Bash
with the dt’s
Asbury Park’s red hot young rocker Jake Thistle returns to the Wonder Bar for a full band headline show.

“With his thoughtful, introspective lyrics and controlled stage presence, Jake Thistle is poised to lead the much-needed revival of classic singer/songwriters…Thistle’s music oozes an authenticity and depth that should make modern folk legends like Jason Isbell and Jeff Tweedy smile. His vocals, delivered with sincerity and just the right amount of rasp, recall early Jackson Browne, John Hiatt, Steve Forbert and Tom Petty.”
Join us at the Wonder Bar for a night of Jake’s new music along with a few Classic Asbury favorites… along with Jake’s 21st Birthday bells & whistles and special guests to be announced.. makings of a great show.

Husbands
2025-04-18 19:00 - 23:30 | Wonder Bar, 1213 Ocean Ave, Asbury Park, 07712
Husbands knows the galvanizing power of an anthemic, hair-raising song. As the co-founding songwriter behind the Oklahoma City indie rock outfit Husbands, Danny Davis has been meticulously crafting emotionally potent tunes about finding your place in the world. His writing always strives to break free from monotony and routine, aiming for meaning and clarity through massive choruses and colorful arrangements. CUATRO, Husbands’ adventurous and triumphant fourth album out Oct. 13 via Cowboy 2.0 and Thirty Tigers, marks a turning point for the band. It’s the first LP written after the departure of longtime bandmate and collaborator, Wil Norton. It’s also an album that Davis made during a time of relative personal stability after quitting his nine-to-five and moving with his wife to Costa Rica. Across 11 arena-filling and richly-produced tracks, the full-length is a document of his growth as a human being and a testament to finding peace in relationships evolving.
