The greatest music of all time is the greatest music of today!

It’s about neo soul and rock ‘n’ roll!

It’s about classic roots music and Americana with driving blues rock.

It’s about the real, live musical performances of all the classic melodies from the brothels of New Orleans, up the Mississippi River, the rock and soul of Stacks Records in Memphis and the blues of Chicago. It’s about all the jazz, swing and R&B that became rock ‘n’ roll to dominate popular music on the East Coast, West Coast and Gulf Coast, including Florida!

As they say in New Orleans, the music that left became jazz and the music that stayed became rock ‘n’ roll. That’s where we will be going to find all the music and bring it back to Jersey!

We’re traveling to New Orleans, The Big Easy Cruise, the Tampa Bay Blues Festival, the Crescent City Blues, Brews and Barbecue Festival Presented by the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival where we will also go!

Let’s not forget Michael Arnone‘s Crawfish Festival in Sussex County in New Jersey on May 29-31, 2026!

Just a couple weeks after the holidays, you can immerse yourself in a luxurious cruise surrounded by the greatest New Orleans musical artists in the world performing on the lovely Holland America Eurodam right on board with you.

The Big Easy Cruise is leaving Fort Lauderdale on January 18, 2026. It will sail up the Mississippi River to New Orleans, where another one of our headline stars, Galactic, will perform at their nightclub, Tipitina‘s, for all of those passengers fortunate enough to be on The Big Easy Cruise enjoying the comfort, safety and luxury of the Holland America Eurodam, while intimately relaxing and simultaneously experiencing the greatest, most exciting performances of Little Feat, Trombone Shorty, Cyril Neville, Samantha Fish, Marcia Ball, Mark Broussard; Soul Rebels, Johnny Sansone, Susan Cowsill, George Porter, Jr., Beausoleil for the Cajun touch, and a dozen more Gulf Coast music stars.

That’s where we find the great music that we combine with the world class East Coast, regional and local musical artists that make the Legacy Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point the Number One in the Nation in two of the last three years; and Mardi Gras on the Boardwalk, at Kennedy Plaza in Atlantic City, the greatest free headline concert series on the East Coast!

But we cannot live by music alone! What about the food!

Try the beignets and the king cake and the sinfully delicious, rich coffee drinks and New Orleans coffee at PJ’s Coffee, 1201 New Road in the Cornerstone Building, Linwood, New Jersey.

They’re still giving away samples of the fabulous Caluda’s King cake with your favorite beverage so go over and enjoy the ambience of New Orleans while you’re having a cup of coffee and feeling the vibes of “The City that Care Forgot!”

Not far from our Italian American roots in Ducktown, we will be visiting with the award-winning, top rated culinary team at Resorts this week when executive Chef Robert Levinson, restaurant Chef David Wong and Resorts food and beverage director, Jeff Ray, visit the show to talk about the world class cuisine and elegant ambience and service of Capriccio, multi award-winning Italian restaurant, Breadsticks where you can enjoy comfort food and award-winning seafood chowder, along with those delicious breadsticks and a fabulous view of the boardwalk and the beach.

Back in Somers Point our dear friend and mentor, Nick Regine, the president of the South Jersey Jazz Society and the director of Somers Point Unique Experiences, is producing “A Night at the Opera” which is more than one of the funniest movies ever made by the Marx Brothers!
