It’s better to be lucky than to be good!

Less than a week ago we had a mixup with a double booking at the Legacy Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point.

As a result some dates were jiggled around and we wound up giving that date, June 12th to Tom Hambridge.

It just so happens that last Sunday Tom won the Grammy award for the Best Traditional Blues Album of the Year, Buddy Guy's “Ain’t Done With The Blues”.

We think he has now won 7 or 8 Grammy awards.

Tremendously talented world class producer, singer, songwriter and performer, Tom Hambridge, wowed the audiences in Somers Point where he will perform not just the blues but the rock ‘n’ roll, the outlaw country, the Rolling Stones, the Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Tedeschi Trucks, the ZZ Top, and even more of his songs that he wrote for the world class musicians recording at his studios in Nashville.

On the Buddy Guy album he even has one of our favorite, greasy, sleazy, hard rockin' guitarists, the great Joe Walsh, performing with Buddy Guy.

This will be an occasion and a celebration to remember forever as we start the season at the Legacy Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point June 12, 2026!

On the serious side, we wish to express our deep appreciation to the Somers Point City Council and it's new president, Kirk Geherty, who again demonstrated why he is an old friend. Together with the support of council and the very respectful acquiescence of the Somers Point Board of Recreation, we are ready to rock ‘n’ roll and bring the Somers Point audiences 13 shows starring Bonerama, the Dane Anthony Band, Dead Zep, John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, our dear friends who wrote the soundtrack and recorded the music that made Eddie and the Cruisers, the return of Mitch Ryder, the return of the The Allman Brothers family Legacy Melody Trucks Band with the Fitzkee Brothers and Vaylor Trucks, and a return performance of “The Girls Can’t Help It“ to bring the season into its finale on September 11.

In between you’ll see some of the very finest tributes including E Street Shuffle, NJ‘s best Springsteen tribute, The Weeklings rockstar tribute to the Beatles and their own Beatleseque Music; and of course, our perennial rock and soul guitar hero, Billy Walton with the Billy Walton Band and Anthony Krizan from the Spin Doctors.

We also want to thank members of Tony Mart Cares and the Beach Concert Committee for attending the Recreation Board meeting.

Specifically, we want to express our love and appreciation to Dara Quattrone Esquire, “Old School“ Jimmy Glenn, John Loreaux, Mike Reilly, our technical director, and Linda Bader Archambault whose grandfather was William Morrow after whom our Legacy Beach Concert venue is named.

It’s a beautiful thing when the people who know and love this are able to now celebrate it.

We'll have our nationally recognized photographer from the Beach Concert Committee, John Loreaux, celebrate with us in an interview on the radio this Saturday, February 7th.

Thank you, Somers Point for allowing us to give this to our community and our region!

Well today is what they call “The Friday before the Friday before" Mardi Gras in New Orleans and we will celebrate by having Wayne Heaton on the radio show this week to talk about some very important tastes of the Mardi Gras. In addition to his Café au Lait and his Hot French Square Donuts called beignets, PJ’s Coffee House in the Cornerstone, 1201 New Rd., Linwood, has Mardi Gras King Cakes.

The Circle Liquor Store has all the great “Olympic Wines“ in addition to everything that you need for your parties at home.

The special winter brews are out and the vast selection of all the whiskeys, bourbons, tequilas are all available from 9 AM to 10 PM seven days a week as you get ready to enjoy all of it.

Next week we will have more details of the great “Olympic Wines” that you can browse and purchase while taking advantage of the Circle Liquor Store's Winter Wine Sale.

The beauty of Cortina and Milan will look even brighter with these world class wines purchased at value prices from probably the best independent liquor store in the world! Certainly the best in the state of New Jersey!

Happy Mardi Gras!

Enjoy the Olympics and the Olympic wines and Winter brews and warm up with the thoughts of world class free Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point.
