Live this Saturday from the Good Old Days Festival in Somers Point at Kennedy Park where we will interview one of our favorites, the vivacious Laura Keiter, the proud “Momager” of the Plaid Salmon Horns performing at the festival.
On the Friday night before we will have it all with the blessing of good weather.
The forecast looks good and the 33rd Anniversary Season of the Legacy Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point will celebrate it’s finale with one of the greatest tribute shows in South Jersey starring the incredible “Secret Weapon” Patty Balbo, her band, premier guitarist Bugsy, the slamming rockstar drummer, Bobby Kimmel, the virtuoso keyboard player, Joe McGinty, the superb guitar of Andy Schlee and our own Rich “Megahurtz” Kurtz on bass.
The Girls Can’t Help It is one of the most popular shows presented by Tony Mart as it takes everyone back to Janis Joplin and the Jefferson Airplane before bringing us full circle through Bonnie Raitt, Joan Jett, Patti Smith, The Pretenders, Pat Benatar, Melissa Etheridge, Heart and the hottest contemporary women, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani, Taylor Swift and more!
The party starts Caribbean style with Hawkins Cove playing the Bob Marley and Parrothead favorites and the right summer sounds to close the concert season! From 7 to 9:45 it will be a very memorable night as the Mainland class of 76 celebrates its 50th reunion on the Beach with one of their own, “Old School” Jimmy Glenn leads the Caribbean party.
It’s Good Old Days weekend, always a special time in Somers Point!
Also on the Beach this Friday, September 11, we will crown once again our Chef King Gumbo 2026, Chef Phil Gormley, from the world class Smithville Inn. We can still taste the lobster and seafood gumbo that earned him the crown as Number One Chef King Gumbo along with Gregory’s as The People’s Choice winner. Last week we honored Walt Gregory as we remember that delicious fun festival at The Point Tiki Bar and Nightclub on Monday, July 13, 2026.
A special thanks to The Point and all the great people there for making it so wonderful and creating those “Wild Summer Nights” where Bayshores once stood on the historic bayfront in Somers Point.
We will celebrate at the Good Old Days Festival by interviewing, the vivacious Laura Keiter and her “boys” PJ Keiter, the excellent young trumpeter and performer from both the Exceptions and Plaid Salmon and the talented, entertaining vocalist and saxophone player in Plaid Salmon, Will Keiter, who also plays bass in one of our finest prodigy blues bands, Twisted Livin’, who become so popular in the last two years.
The Good Old Days is a very special time for all of us as we celebrate at a festival that was founded by the visionary, Nick Regine, when people got together and barbecued and celebrated the end of the season. It evolved into a great festival with really affordable hotdogs, hamburgers, beers and sodas and people sharing what makes Somers Point so great: the good times, the families and the unique and historic qualities as one of the great places to Let the Good Times Roll at the Jersey Shore!
We hope you will come and say hello to us there and join the wonderful families and friends. The festival rolls from approximately 11AM until 5:30 PM this Saturday the 12th after the next day Finale Weekend Beach Concert at Morrow Beach 7 PM sharp this Friday the 11th.
