Sandy Mack’s Wonder Jam
2025-04-13 15:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | 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. Jake has quietly and steadily won the attention of the Asbury Park music community… from early solo shows at the Pony (age 16 on), to his now regular appearance at Light of Day.. and just recently The Stone Pony Anniversary Party… the right people are predicting a bright future for Jake.
“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.

Melvin Seals and JGB
2025-04-04 19:00 - 23:30 | The Stone Pony
Melvin Seals has been a powerful presence in the music industry for over 30 years with a long-established reputation as a performer, recording artist and producer. Melvin is most revered for his powerful, high-spirited, Hammond B-3 organ, and keyboards in the Jerry Garcia Band. Melvin spun his B-3 magic with the Jerry Garcia Band for 18 years and in doing so helped pioneer and define what has now become “Jam Band Music”. From blues to funk to rock to jazz, Melvin Seals serves up a tasty mix with a little R&B and gospel thrown in to spice things up.
Melvin and JGB bring an intuitive, expressive style, soul, spontaneity and remarkable chops to the table. John Kadlecik on lead guitar and vocal duties, John-Paul McLean’s savory bass, Jeremy Hoenig on the drums and, of course, a heapin’ helpin’ of the wizard’s magic on Hammond B-3 Organ and keyboards. Their chemistry is the focus from which they create a spontaneous and high art where the sky is the limit musically. They offer an exciting, often psychedelic musical journey that changes nightly and keeps the audience dancing and smiling (and some staring in amazement) for hours.
Adding his rock-gospel-soul-rhythm and blues touch with his funky style of playing, no wonder Jerry nicknamed him “Master of the Universe”. Melvin continues to treat music lovers to his unique brand of melodic flavor with JGB. Come see and hear for yourself!
Melvin Seals – Hammond B3 Organ, Keyboards & Vocals
