In our 33rd year on the Beach in Somers Point our Legacy Concerts are still amazingly FREE!

They are amazingly, diverse, unique, and magical!

Starting June 12, this year you will enjoy a consistent cavalcade of headline stars and the best tributes and regional party dance bands, one week after another.

It’s multiple Grammy winners starting with Tom Hambridge, who just won his latest Grammy with Buddy Guy for “Ain’t Done Messing With The Blues.” It’s our own amazing young emerging blues rock stars, Twisted Livin’ Band kicking off the season that night.

It’s funky brassy New Orleans, R&B and classic rock with three trombones! Bonerama on June 19th.

It’s one of the finest entertainers in three states, Dane Anthony and his phenomenal party dance band June 26th. It’s Americana and classic rock melded together by Dead Zep who will also feature a famous Americana jam rock star to be announced. It’s our own John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band who gave us the immortal soundtrack to the movie filmed right here, “Eddie and the Cruisers” making July 17th memorable.

It’s rockstar/rhythm and blues with phenomenal funksters In July and August and one of the finest all rockstar tribute bands in the world, The Weeklings, playing for years with ELO, Styx, The Asbury Jukes and Max Weinberg’s Jukebox with whom they still play.

The Legacy Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point are proud to present the very best the young emerging legacy stars Melody Trucks and Vaylor Trucks, the family of Butch Trucks performing with the phenomenal the Fitzkee Brothers. It was an awesome display of energy and virtuosity last year.

On August 21, our own rock and soul guitar hero leads the way into a big Sponsor Party for all of those that help us make it happen! Billy Walton will have an All-Star band for the occasion!

For the first time ever on August 28, the Legacy Concerts on the Beach will present a true 90’s rockstar group, Deep Blue Something, performing their multi-million selling hit, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” that was Number 1 in Great Brittian and Number 5 in the USA along with their many other enjoyable Alt Rock songs.

We take it home with the best Springstein Tribute, E Street Shuffle on September 4th ; and wrap it up on September 11, with the incredibly exciting “Girls Can’t Help It” tribute to over a dozen of the greatest rock star divas performed by the sultry and sensational Patty Balbo and the band “red.”

That is why we were Number 1 in 2023!

Number 2 in 2024! But Number 1 again in 2025 according to the USA Today Readers top 10 Poll for Best Outdoor Concert Venues.

To celebrate our success, we will host the founder of the Somers Point Beach Concerts, Nick Regine, who will, along with the South Jersey Jazz Society, produce the first concert of the season on June 5 featuring South Jersey‘s own jazz trumpet, phenom PJ Keiter, and his 12 piece group of fine young musicians.

Our childhood friend from Bay Avenue, Nick Regine, will help us celebrate the life of the recently passed music writer and journalist, Bill Kelly, who was often seen at Tony Mart’s hanging out with Tony Mart himself or any number of the most famous figures in Tony Mart history.

Coincidingly, the legacy stories will flow as we also pay tribute to the great musicologist, singer/songwriter, producer, and performer, John Hammond, Jr, who related a personal story about the history of Tony Mart’s with Bob Dylan, Ronnie Hawkins, Levon Helm and all the members of The Band.

As the lovely spring approaches and the fragrance of wines are part of our lives, the wine goddess herself, Julia Stacey Reilly, prepares for her trip to the wine valley and the champagne districts around Paris. She will be experiencing and sharing the taste and flavors of some of the greatest wine producing regions on earth, Rhone, Bordeaux and Burgundy.

Of course our premier sponsor, Circle Liquor Store, has thousands of bottles from all over France and Europe and this will be a great way to start the spring and summer wine parties with pasta and BBQ!

It’s all about the good times all summer long beginning on the Beach, June 5 with the Somers Point Jazz Society and rolling right into September as we experience a truly amazing 13 concerts with phenomenally different great sounds and songs during the course of 20 performances during those three months.

Look for an announcement of the Americana Jam Band star to join Dead Zep on July 10.

Look forward to the 250th anniversary of the United States of America on its birthday,

July 3rd and July 4th.

On July 31, the greatest rockstar still alive that ever played at Tony Mart’s, the iconic Mitch Ryder brings 17 hits, 10 top 10 records, three gold records, and one of the most famous songs of all time, “Devil With the Blue Dress”, to the Beach for a three hour marathon rock ‘n’ roll show also featuring our musical family, the Tony Mart All-Stars.

Take a step back and look at American musical history that will be celebrated just blocks from where it was made!
