Tony Mart Cares, a 501(c)(3) non profit organization has been established to allow us to help our great musicians who need support and assistance as well as create more free and low costs concerts for our Tony Mart family of musicians and fans.

Fortunately, Tony Mart Cares is in a position to become the producer of the Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point and save the legacy that has been so important since Nick Regine founded the concert series 32 years ago and the current committee has taken it to the level of national prominence in its 22 years of service.

This has provided the vehicle for some of our greatest and most iconic South Jersey musicians, including Bob Campanella and Ernie Trionfo; however the legacy of Somers Point and the Jersey Shore in the annals of rock n’ roll history are well represented in the historic roots of performers such as.

With fundraising support and strong sponsorship from the South Jersey community, Tony Mart Cares is able to live the legacy on Friday nights in 2025 when the Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point will play host to international stars such as the musical director of the Conan O’Brian Show, Jimmy Vivino, and G.E. Smith, the former musical director of Saturday Night Live; the legacy of the Asbury Jukes with their horn section joining Glen Alexander and a phenomenal “Boss and the Jukes” tribute to the Jersey Shore’s world famous contributions to music as well as the next generation of Southern rock legacy of the Allman Brothers with Melody Trucks Band featuring Vaylor Trucks, and a performance by Tre Twitty, Conway Twitty’s grandson, completing the circle, and a deeply rooted performance with one of America’s greatest roadhouse rockin’ bands, The Nighthawks, and the hilarious & superlative Reverend Billy C. Wirtz on the boogie woogie piano.

All of this and much more is now possible due to Tony Mart Cares and everyone who has come together to save the legacy, and now celebrate the legacy.

In addition to these pursuits Tony Mart Cares Cafe has been able to provide a beverage garden during the Boardwalk at the Mardi Gras on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City concert series since 2022. We strongly believe having Tony Mart Cafe tremendously enhances our series and allows our audience more enjoyment.

With much love, and appreciation, we thank you for all everyone has done and continue to do to support the Tony Mart legacy, Tony Mart Cares.
