At 80 years old, Mitch Ryder is still one of the greatest classic rock stars of all time performing regularly with Bruce Springsteen and many others all around the world.

He is beloved and respected by music aficionados and musicians everywhere for his hard rocking versions of some of the greatest rock n’ roll songs, including his recording of the turn of the century blues classic CC Ryder, which he combined with his tune “ Jenny Take a Ride” in his 60’s classic hit.

He is the last of the iconic classic rock stars surviving from the golden age of Tony Marts.

After 60 years and an epic career, Mitch Ryder will return to Somers Point to join the “First in the Nation Celebration” of First Place, as Legacy Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point are again celebrating their recognition as #1 by USA Today top ten readers poll nationally!

In one of the most famous and important moments in the history of Tony Marts in the summer of ‘65, Levon and The Hawks left Tony Marts to become Bob Dylan and The Band in late August.

At that time, Tony Mart hired the red hot, extremely popular “Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels” to play the end of August at the Legendary Jersey Shore nightclub.

On Friday, Sept 12th, everyone can experience and enjoy those historic moments when Mitch Ryder performs his many hits, including “Sock it to Me Baby”, “ Good Golly Miss Molly”, “Devil With a Blue Dress On”, “ Little Latin Lupe Lu”, and many others.

Mitch Ryder will headline an entire finale concert with the Tony Mart Allstars, Howard Isaacson, Waynard Scheller from the Dead Zep Band, and the young phenoms, Twisted Livin’ Band starting at 7pm on that final night of the 2025 concert season on the beach in Somers Point.

It will be a major concert event highlighted by Mitch Ryder’s special fly-in performance for the evening and over two hours of the best classic rock n’ roll.

The Beach Concert Committee and Tony Marts Cares Inc. is accepting limited “First in Nation Celebration” Patron Donations of $100 or more for those fans and friends who wish to support this major event.

It will be an incredibly sensational performance and an opportunity to see this iconic rock star in the intimate setting of the unique and magical Legacy Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point!
