Exciting news begins as we make one announcement after another in anticipation of the AtlantiCare Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point and the 2019 CRDA Summer Concert Series, "Mardi Gras AC" at Kennedy Plaza on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City. We were able to visit with many artists and friends on the Blues Cruise and we are happy to share the names of many greats who will be appearing at our concerts this summer.

With dozens of Grammy awards between them, the Phantom Blues Band is tentatively scheduled to perform at both venues. The Grammy nominated keyboard player, composer and performer from Southern Hospitality, Victor Wainwright, has been given a tentative date and there was even a discussion with the original "Whammer Jammer" from the J Giels Band, Magic Dick, who may just pop up at a Tommy Castro concert this summer. There is a tentative date for "The Low Rider Band" starring the original members of WAR!. Tab Benoit wants to play for us, Johnny Sansone is ready to go and the original guitarist and founding member of Jethro Tull, Martin Barre himself, will open the Somers Point Series on June 21, 2019. Listen in for more revealing details and exciting announcements.
Another fabulous free concert is scheduled Thursday, February 21, 6pm at JD's Pub, the gastro pub without the gastro pub prices, where Tony Mart's will present a mini version of its production "The Music That Made Tony Mart's Famous" featuring the biggest hits by the greatest stars that ever played Tony Mart's from Bill Haley and Conway Twitty to Del Shannon, Joey D and the Starlighters and Mitch Ryder before gliding into our Tony Mart Tribute to Bob Dylan and The Band and finishing with the shore sounds of Springsteen and "Eddie & the Cruisers", the rock/classic movie filmed at Tony Mart's.

The Tony Mart Allstars that evening will include "Old School" Jimmy Glenn, "Ernie T" Trionfo, our own Somers Point rock and roll icon, Bobby Campanell and his lifetime bandmate, Tony DiMattia on bass. In addition to the Tony Mart classics Bobby Campanell will favor us with songs from his "Summer of Love" show that will be performed at the AtlantiCare Concerts on the Beach this summer.

It's all free and accompanied by fabulous food, including $5 Philly Cheesesteaks and $7 Filet Mignon Cheesesteaks, warm, flavorful soups and chili and an entire menu of gastro pub food at very reasonable prices as well as $4 pints of craft beers and pitchers of domestic beer for under $7.
In vino veritas! There will be a lot of truth and some very tasty good times this Saturday, February 16 and next Saturday, February 23rd when Carmen Marotta hosts the "Tony Mart Style" wine tasting in-store at Circle Liquor, 1 to 4pm. One of the best ways to get ready for the good times is to join our hospitable, helpful friends at Circle Liquor Store. Probably the best independent liquor store in the world, right here in Somers Point. Circle Liquor has a vast array of the finest single malt scotches, cognac, rare and distinctive bourbon and whiskeys as well as the latest seasonal and limited edition craft beers and Chester Malloy's recommendations of the finest wines in the world.
It's time to celebrate the arrival of spring at a new event, "Taste Spring at the Point" produced by Tony Mart Presents and Patriots for the Somers Mansion for the benefit of their effort to preserve and improve the historic Somers Point landmark, Somers Mansion, which casts it's shadow over the original site of Tony Mart's, just north of the Somers Point Circle area.

The event will feature a concert by our own Jersey Shore Rock and Soul guitar hero, Billy Walton and The Billy Walton Band just prior to their departure for yet another Northern European and Great Brittan tour. The show will begin with Somers Point's own SSP Band led by our "girlfriend" Greg Sykora, who is co-producing the event with us.

The $20 donation includes a wrist band allowing you to taste 5 wines or 5 craft beers and enjoy light snacks in the lobby area of the historic Gateway Theatre. The event begins at 6pm on the eve of spring, March 20, 2019. For more information look for postings on www.TonyMart.com or www.SomersMansionPatriots.org.

Reserve your seat now by contacting Patriots at the Point or the Gateway Theatre so you will not be closed out of what could well be a sold out theatre celebrating the first event produced by Tony Mart Presents at our historic theatre in the Bayfront neighborhood of Somers Point where Tony Mart's made musical history.
Exciting culinary news in South Jersey has been made by Chef Syed Abbas as he opened his gorgeous and fabulous Nizam's Restaurant at the Harbor Square Mall last Sunday to rave reviews. Open daily, the Nizam's combines a gorgeous state of the art open air kitchen and restaurant with the world class cuisine of Chef Syed. Enjoy lunch or dinner at the new location or the continuing operation of the Nizam's Restaurant at 6666 Black Horse Pike in Egg Harbor Township. Look for a Tony Mart event coming soon to the already acclaimed, excellent new Nizam's.

With so much going on we're trying to warm things up back here in South Jersey so listen this Saturday at 12 noon when Tony Mart Presents Music, Food, Fun, Travel and Community Professionals live on WPG 1450AM, 104.1FM and STREAMING LIVE* at high noon and get ready to...

Let the Good Times Roll!
