One of the greatest food critics and culinary journalists in the history of southern New Jersey, Ed Hitzel, suffering a very sudden death approximately 11 years ago.

At that time, Carmen Marotta was becoming an increasingly frequent cohost on his show, TABLE FOR ONE. Consequently, The Tony Mart Family became active in producing a radio show that focused on restaurants, cooking and wine, but expanded it into the music of the Tony Mart Legacy.

With the assistance of Harry & Don Hurley, affiliated with WPG, this became a reality that has become the highest ranking Saturday afternoon talk show at 12:00pm weekly: Tony Mart Presents Music, Food, Fun, Travel: Let the Good Times Roll!

In the 10 years that have transpired since the inception of the weekly talk radio show, Tony Mart Presents has increased its production of concerts with further development of Mardi Gras On The Boardwalk, the FREE Boardwalk concert series that initiated approximately 15 years ago.

In 2025, Tony Mart Cares Inc., our nonprofit community service organization became the producers of Legacy Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point, now in its 33rd year.

Several years ago, Tony Mart Presents reintroduced The Jersey Gumbo Cookoff & Louisiana Music Festival, which has become exponentially successful in July at the beautiful tiki bar and tropical nightclub, The Point, located at 998 Bay Avenue, at the site of the former Bay Shores Nightclub, across from the original Tony Marts on the historic Somers Point bay front.

The Jersey Gumbo Cookoff & Louisiana Music Festival continues its focus featuring extensive information on favorite restaurants and eateries along with extensive information about the amazingly FREE concerts, which are produced in both Somers Point and Atlantic City as the premiere FREE headline concert series at the Jersey shore each summer.

The radio show now features detailed information and very interesting, amusing & fascinating interviews regarding the performances and the careers of the musical artists; travel to major musical events such as New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and back in Jersey, Michael Arnone's Crawfish Festival in Sussex County. Occasionally, the show features savory details of the last of the 'real deal' Americana restaurants, BBQ's, 'road food' and traditions which we are still able to enjoy for over 45 years.

In addition to updating and encapsulating all of these activities produced by Tony Mart Presents and Tony Mart Cares Inc., the radio show has become focused on the fabulous wines of the world and the significant values offered by Circle Liquor Store, our premiere sponsor, as curated by the wine master at Circle, Chester Malloy, the First Lady of Circle Liquor, the lovely Jeanette Giemza, and Tony Marts own sommelier, Julia Stacy Reilly, AKA the 'wine goddess'.

With so much content and detail as to how to enjoy life it's no wonder that the radio show is consistently polling the #1 most listened to show our time slot by large margins!

It's all about celebrating positive good times in life! Tune in and remember that you can get the weekly broadcasts live in real time by merely clicking on WPG in the top right corner.

Let the good times roll!

It’s time to kick off 2026 with a FREE pop-up party celebrating “Good Times at the Old Point,” a free concert starring South Jersey’s great regional music stars at Josie Kelly’s this Thursday, May 14, 2026.

Dedicated to the retirement of our dear friend, Guy Martin, after 52 years of service, ultimately as Director of the Somers Point Department of Public Works. Guy is a dear friend of the Tony Mart family who did so much for the Beach Concerts through the years.

The doors will open at 5:30 and the music will start at 6 p.m. as we roll through good times with Billy Walton, Toni Teschner, the great Danny Eyer with Rich “Megahurtz” Kurtz from the Tony Mart All-Stars, “Big Bob” Ernano, Brandon Ireland, and more guest stars to be announced.

The Good Times will roll for hours at this free show with open seating and lots of friends from the Concerts, the City of Somers Point, and all over South Jersey. The popular pub and pub food of Josie Kelly’s will be available for purchase.

To help us commemorate this special occasion, we will have the original founder of the Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point, Nick Regine, who is also celebrating the 2026 South Jersey Jazz Society Concert on the Beach June 6 in Somers Point.

To add more local flavor, we will have another Tony Mart family friend, Vince Rennick, talk about his friendship and his years with Guy Martin, Somers Point, and Tony Marts!

We will relish the memories of so many incredible performances at the Tampa Bay Blues Festival, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and the Blues Hall of Fame Foundation Awards show just last night in Memphis, Tennessee.

It’s all about so many of these national and international stars coming from all over the country to perform in the 2026 season and the past couple of seasons as we ask everyone to continue to vote for the Legacy Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point by going to Tonymart.com.

Now you can also vote for the Legacy Concerts on the Beach at Shore Local Choice Awards as well at Shorelocal.com.

We'll leave you with an open invitation to party with us this summer and enjoy the stars we have seen at these world-class festivals including George Porter Jr. and the Runnin' Pardners, Ivan Neville and Dumpstaphunk, Tab Benoit, Samantha Fish, Bonerama, Mitch Ryder, Tommy Castro, and so many more.

These are the headliners!

These are the award winners!

These are the stars you see for free on summer nights in Atlantic City on the Boardwalk and Somers Point on the Beach.

We’ve seen them on the cruises, the festivals, and the concerts all over in the past six months.

Now it’s time to kick off the concert season and bring them to you as we produce the 2026 season!

Join us Thursday night, the 14th, and on the radio Saturday, the 9th of May, as we get ready to Let the Good Times Roll!
