What a fabulous gathering of friends and fans we had dancing and partying on the Boardwalk in front of one of the greatest performances we have ever produced last night, August 27, as Dead Zep brought an unbelievable guitar army and one of the finest roots rock and Americana female vocalists we have ever seen, Haley Jane, the passionate and superbly talented lead vocalist from New England.
Although it’s what people come to expect from us this was exceptionally incredible and the joy and good vibrations were tangibly tremendous.
You can look for Dead Zep and Haley Jane in our future for more of the fabulous Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin and other classic rock jams they performed so well.
Next week it is the classic pop concert finale on Wednesday the 3rd when the rock star beatlesque band, The Weeklings, perform their Beatles tribute along with one of the greatest classic pop star bands in the world today, the Cowsills.
The legacy and the love surround us as we roll into September this year. Starring in one of the most popular rock ‘n’ roll tours of the summer, “The Happy Together Tour”, the Cowsills, one of the most popular and beloved, classic pop, TV and Broadway Musical artists, will perform in the classic popstar finale of Mardi Gras on the Boardwalk, Wednesday, September 3.
To make it a complete festival of great, classic pop and rock musicians, the show will also feature the Weeklings, one of the most respected performers of Beatles music and their own fabulous “Beatlesque” music with some of our greatest rockin’ rollers from ELO, Styx, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes and Springsteen‘s Max Weinberg famous band, “Max Weinberg’s Juke Box”.
This will be the last, but it will be an incredibly unforgettable and warm experience as you hear the theme song from the Broadway play “Hair” which was a number one hit by the Cowsills, “Indian Lake”, and many of your favorite Beatles songs as well as the charming and iconic pop hit about “The Flower Girl” by the original Flower Girl herself, the alluring and endearing Susan Cowsill.

Look for the set list and a preview of the exciting fun on September 5 as the Tony Mart Allstars host four of the greatest performers and personalities in South Jersey musical history.
It will be an absolutely exceptional night of all the unique and magical nights on the beach in Somers Point next Friday, Sept. 5th, when classic South Jersey Allstars Lew London, Patty Blee, Dr Bobby Fingers and Howard Isaacson perform with The Tony Mart Allstars in a show dedicated to Herb “Bubba Mac” Birch, founder and owner of the whimsically historic Bubba Mac Shack that once stood on Bay Ave. in Somers Point.
The evening will start with a posthumous tribute to Somers Point rock n’ roll icon Bob Campanell, as the Campanell family will perform one of Bobby’s beloved songs.
The Sept. 5th concert will truly be a legacy of our lifetimes in South Jersey with the guest stars taking us on a warm and nostalgic music tour of our lives in the last 40 years.
Our beloved Lew London will play his fiddle and provide a highlight when he does “Orange Blossom Special” as well as the songs we all remember from his many years at The Library and other clubs.
The great Patty Blee will do her poignant vocal stylings and kick some rock n’ roll out in tribute to the great Linda Rondstat.
Howard Isaacson will perform his #1 smooth jazz hit “Daylight” as well as the incredible version of Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On”, which The Allstars, with Bobby Campanell and Ernie Trionfo, played so phenomenally great so many times on the beach in Somers Point.
“Old School” Jimmy Glenn will do his famous rendition of Springsteen’s “Rosalita”; Brian Conover will sing Conway Twitty and The Eagles’ “Desperado” while Lew London plays the violin.
“Big Bob” Ernano treats us with “Rocky Mountain Way” & “Whipping Post”, while Brian Varhelyi and Lew London jam away on their guitars.
Dr. Bobby Fingers returns triumphantly to turn the beach into a gigantic sing-along and pay tribute to our great country with Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless The USA” before we take it all home with the music of Bob Dylan & The Band.
After 2 1/2 hours of non stop concert and dance party music on the beach, we will let the good times roll into the evening after the curfew as our friend and sponsor, Sam Trocki, has agreed to donate the music area of his gorgeous Tavern on the Bay so that we can continue the party with a Bobby Fingers sing along and all the musicians and friends who want to be part of this great finale party night to share these legacy memories with the classic South Jersey stars and each other.
The show is free with Bobby Fingers and many of The Allstars performing as soon as they are able to get over to the Inn on the Bay next to the beach following the end of the show at 9:30pm.
Not only is this a great way to beat the curfew but it’s always a great way for us to all party together at the end of this phenomenal summer season of 2025 on the beach in Somers Point.
The Tony Mart Allstars and the classic guest stars all thank Sam Trocki and his team for providing the party place, the bar with great libations and a limited late night menu.
We salute them and some of the greatest musicians in South Jersey history. We look forward to sharing some sacred memories.
We have a lot to be thankful for after such a great season!
It’s all about the final weeks of the summer concert series. Billy Walton, The Cowsills, The Weeklings, The Tony Mart Allstars and their beloved guest stars; and a world famous rockstar who performs regularly with Bruce Springsteen, and other major rock stars, Mitch Ryder, who played Tony Mart’s Labor Day weekend 60 years ago in 1965!
