Sensational Soul Cruisers
2025-05-17 19:00 - 23:00 | Wonder Bar, 1213 Ocean Ave, Asbury Park, 07712
The Sensational Soul Cruisers are not just another 11-man vocal harmony group with horns. While it is still sometimes possible to find a band featuring a similar line up of instruments, it is unlikely that you will ever find another that performs with as much energy, passion, and talent as these guys. From their humble beginnings rehearsing in Freehold Borough at the chicken coops on Route 33 to the basement of the Cycle Shop on Throckmorton Street, this band has come a long way from its “Eddie and the Cruisers” days to become one of New Jersey’s best kept secrets.
Under the tutelage of legendary Jersey Shore sax player Screamin’ Steve Barlotta, who has been the captain of this fantastic soul cruise for over 30 years, who has catapulted this band from the recesses of a dingy basement to over 200 performances a year while capturing the true essence of the Jersey Shore sound and its true R&B roots. Fortunately for those of us that feel that the sound of classic Philly Soul, Motown, Disco, Stax, and the music of The Temptations, Four Tops, Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago, The Trammps and other such groups was and still is some of the best music ever recorded or played live, there will be plenty of chances to see the Sensational Soul Cruisers perform this year and for many years to come. While the band travels to and plays concerts in theaters, clubs, public festivals, and private events throughout the country, they will be spending quite a bit of time up & down the east coast this year.
Over the past 3 decades the Soul Cruisers have been fortunate enough to grace the stage with many great artist from Bruce Springsteen, Little Anthony and The Imperials, Gloria Gaynor, Gary US Bonds, John Cafferty, Southside Johnny, The Emotions, Bon Jovi, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder. As well as being the long time favorite house band at New York City’s famed Copacabana.

Parlor Gallery is pleased to present Double Trouble, a 2-person exhibition featuring the works of Dennis McNett (Wolfbat) and Ben Venom
2025-05-24 18:00 - 22:00 | parlor gallery, 717 Cookman Avenue, Asbury Park, 07712
Punk meets precision. Raw energy meets intricate craftsmanship.
Parlor Gallery is pleased to present Double Trouble, a groundbreaking exhibition uniting the strong works of Dennis McNett (Wolfbat) and Ben Venom. These boundary-pushing artists transform traditional techniques into bold cultural statements that challenge, provoke, and inspire.
Opening May 24th and running through July 7th, 2025, this exhibition showcases the artists’ individual works that explore the intersection of punk culture, environmental sustainability, and traditional craft, showing a commitment to DIY ethos
WHERE COUNTERCULTURE MEETS CRAFT
McNett’s large-scale wood carvings and intricate prints stand in powerful dialogue with Venom’s punk-infused quilts and textile works. Both artists breathe new life into traditional techniques:
Dennis McNett (Wolfbat) creates immersive visual worlds through printmaking, sculpture, and storytelling. His larger-than-life puppets and carvings draw on mythology and punk culture to create experiences that transcend conventional art boundaries.
Ben Venom reimagines quilting through a rebellious lens, contrasting “menacing and aggressive counterculture components with the comforts of domesticity.” His reclaimed textiles—each with “unexplained stains, tears, and rips”—are transformed into functional art that tells stories of personal history and cultural
Through their diverse, yet complementary practices, McNett and Venom ask important questions about cultural tradition, humanity’s impact on the environment, and the tension between fine art and craft. Their work speaks to the fragility of materials and the indelible mark of culture, while also showcasing the artists’ shared interest in community and collaboration. In
Double Trouble, the duo takes on new creative challenges and invites viewers to experience their shared artistic journey.
Both McNett and Venom share a connection to Asbury Park—a city known for its vibrant music and arts scene. McNett’s community-focused work has been a part of the Wooden Walls Project, with this yearly Residency in the Carousel House and his popular mask-making workshop and larger than life puppets. This past year, Wolfbat invited his friend and collaborator, Ben Venom to join him during his most recent visit to Asbury Park. Ben already had a connection to Asbury Park, being featured at Parlor Gallery, where he exhibited his dynamic quilts. During Ben’s Residency, he led a patch-making workshop for the community. McNett and Venom are also close collaborators and friends, having worked together on various artistic projects over the years.
Their collaboration is a testament to the power of artistic community and the importance of fostering long-lasting, creative partnerships.
A public opening reception will take place on Saturday, May 24th, from 6:00–10:00 pm,

Venom’s quilts are made from repurposed materials, with each piece telling a story of transformation, durability, and resistance. His work has been shown at renowned institutions including the Levi Strauss Museum (Germany), the National Folk Museum of Korea, and the Craft and Folk Art Museum (Los Angeles).
