Thanks to so many great people we have saved the legacy Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point this summer.

Now it is time to start to celebrate those legacy concerts.

To help us do that, this week we will have a famous South Jersey musician, performer, virtuoso violin player and really popular and beautiful human being, Lew London, who is one of the regional guest star musical artists who will perform with the Tony Allstars on Friday, September 5, when Lew, Dr. Bobby Fingers, Patty Blee, Howard Isaacson and Danny Eyer will join the Tony Mart Allstars in a two hour plus nonstop performance paying tribute to the greatest musicians in the last 40 years of musical history in South Jersey. Also joining the show will be the Campanell brothers doing a song in tribute to their father, the late great Bob Campanell, who was so central to music in Somers Point.

The entire extravaganza will be dedicated to another very important figure in the history of Somers Point music, Herb “Bubba Mac“ Birch to whom we will also pay tribute that night.

We’ll talk with Lew about his career, his contributions, his extraordinary talent, which you can still see on selected Monday and Tuesday nights at the Crab Trap in Somers Point, and what it means to all of us to get together and celebrate our lives in music.

This is the epitome of what we mean by legacy concerts at the unique and magical, nationally recognized Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point.

Also, on the show this week will be the excellent, executive chef of one of South Jersey‘s finest farm to table, fine dining restaurants, The Inn at Smithville. Chef Philip Gormley will be part of the restaurant gala this week and he will be competing at the Jersey Gumbo Cookoff and Louisiana Music Festival July 21 at The Point Tiki Bar and Nightclub in Somers Point.

In addition to talking about his fabulous spring menu at Smithville, we will anticipate the big party coming up on June 7 when Tony Mart brings the Tony Mart Allstars to a free concert at Smithville on Saturday, June 7.

On Saturday, June 7 a very special family festival and concert, “Eagles Country“ will be the major spring concert event at the lovely village of Smithville, where the Tony Mar All-Stars will perform their tribute to The Eagles, the most popular recording artists in American music.

General admission will be free and there will be a reserved VIP section with wine and beer service included at tables and chairs for seating close to the stage. This wonderful first Saturday of June will be the day to enjoy the concert in the spring at the lovely village of Smithville Inn when Tony Mart Presents a free concert with a special VIP section sponsored by the Bogle Family of Wines. A free concert and festival at a perfect family style party, 4 to 8pm including food trucks, great shopping and the famous Smithville Inn cuisine of Chef Phil Gormley.

With a world class, extensive selection of wines, including wonderful spring wine suggestions and a focus on the Prosecco, Pinot Grigio, the finest white burgundy from France and the old world Sauvignon Blanc from northern Italy and France compared to the light, popular Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand and central coast of California.

The world of wine is open for you at Circle Liquor from 9 AM until 10 PM every day.

We are focused on the Pinot Grigio from the southern slopes of the Alps where the 2026 Winter Olympics will be in Milano and Cortina. To celebrate Circle Liquor will continuously present some of greatest Italian big red wines from Barbera, Barolo and Barbaresco at amazingly, inexpensive prices. You can go to our wine goddess, Julia Stacey Reilly at StaceyJ100@hotmail.com or her website www.Boozylifestyle.com to learn so much about the huge selection of these wines or you can go see the master himself at Circle Liquor Store, Chester Malloy, and see the huge, universal selection of quality, enjoyable wines from around the world.

We are delighted to welcome the owner operator of the Anchor Rock Club, Greg Mungan as a guest on our show next Saturday, April 5. He is doing what we have done for so long, working very hard to present great entertainment to a varied audience. Anchor Rock Club is a really hip dance and party club for the young generation X and a little bit older crowd that can hang!

With the help of our good friends at Conservatory Cannabis, they have been continuing to present some of the finest jam and rock ‘n’ roll bands, reggae and tremendously popular performers. They will be the place on the Orange Loop this summer and we’re very anxious to talk about all the action with Greg.

Also, next week we will enjoy talking to our good friend and saxophone star of the New Orleans and Las Vegas scene, Director of the Big Bender Brass Band at the Big Bender Land Cruise in Las Vegas in September and a truly entertaining and fun performer leading his own band to the Boardwalk this summer on July 16, when he will be a part of one of the biggest shows of the season along with five time, Grammy nominated Chicago Queen of the Blues, Shemekia Copeland!

In his role with the Big Easy Cruise, he is a part of the quality music themed cruise producers in our country today, Star Vista.

One of our favorite pleasures in this life is cruising on the high seas with all our friends and a ship full of the greatest entertainers in the world. Star Vista Cruises has a delightful, decadent good time schedule of cruises for everyone, including The 70’s Rock and Romance Cruise returning to Fort Lauderdale on the Celebrity Summit this Saturday; and the Sandy Beaches Cruise full of the world’s finest singer songwriters including The Mavericks, Marcia Ball, and dozens more.

The Malt Shop Cruise in November goes all the way back with stars like Paul Anka, Little Anthony, the Jacksons and Darlene Love; and the Flower Power Cruise which gets a little psychedelic with the 70’s on March 28 this year!

We loved the Big Easy Cruise and it will be headlined by one of the most beloved roots rock bands of all time, Little Feat, as well as Samantha Fish, living legends from the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, Cyril Neville and George Porter, Jr from the Meters, as well as Galactic, the world famous New Orleans funk band, keeping the legacy of Tipitina‘s alive!

Just added it to the cruise are the great Marcia Ball and Johnny Sansone, two more of the very best singer songwriters the Gulf Coast has ever produced.

All of these cruises are utterly relaxing, an ecstatic good time with the very best entertainment in comfortable, intimate, secure and very enjoyable settings and venues.

On a happy note, we will celebrate Bob Dylan‘s birthday with the commemoration and reenactment of his famous 30th anniversary concert, my back pages, performed by the great Dead up along with several guest stars.

Imagine a show where all of these Bob Dylan classics are performed as interpreted by each different legendary rock star.

In addition to several guest stars, the Tony Mart All-Star Musical Director, Rich “Megahurtz” Kurtz, will team up with Waynard Scheller, Musical Director of Dead Zepp to produce an amazing, never before seen tribute performance of the Dylan Madison Square Garden concert.
