There is so much love and legacy to proudly share with everyone on the Beach in Somers Point every Friday night!

You will not want to miss the exhibition of love between Tre Twitty‘s grandfather, Conway Twitty, who played the first half of the 60’s decade in Somers Point, and Tony Mart himself who loved Conway and had a very special relationship with him amongst all the other stars and the phenomenal house band “The Fall Guys” which would be the backing band for Conway Twitty when he didn’t have his own great band featuring Pork Chop Markham, who is also in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

It is historic, but you will feel it in your body and your soul when Tre Twitty performs the music of Elvis Presley and Conway Twitty with one of the greatest boogie woogie piano players and roadhouse rockin’ blues bands to create a world class concert produced exclusively for the unique Legacy Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point.

Somers Point’s Musical Legacy Flows up the Mississippi to Memphis and The Jersey Shore!!

The roots of our rock n’ roll legacy flowed up & down the Mississippi to New Orleans and Memphis before they spread to the Jersey Shore.

This enrapturing rock n’ roll legacy will again be center stage on the beach in Somers Point, Friday August 22nd when Tony Mart’s rock n’ roll & country star, Conway Twitty’s grandson Tre Twitty, takes time from his national tour with the daughter of Loretta Lynn and performs a special legacy tribute to the rock n’ roll of Sun Studios in Memphis, where Elvis Presley was the star recording artist along with Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Conway Twitty, and many other iconic figures in rock n’ roll history.

Tre Twitty will pay tribute to them in an unforgettable legacy concert with The Nighthawks, one of the world’s greatest roots, rockin’ roadhouse blues bands, and The Reverend Billy C. Wirtz, boogie woogie piano player supreme in a two hour plus concert.

The legendary Sam Phillips, producer at Sun Studios in Memphis, said that the greatest vocalist that he ever recorded was a guy named Chester Arthur Burnett, one of the most memorable and gifted blues singers in the history of American music, Howlin’ Wolf!

The synchronicity and karmic connectivity of our roots in music history will flow together in ecstasy when The Nighthawks perform the music of Howlin’ Wolf, a blues icon and all that rock n’ roll at this special two hour plus concert on the beach in Somers Point starting at 7pm.

This is why Legacy Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point are the #1 Outdoor Concert Series in the country again this year!

Fun is in the air in Atlantic City and the excitement of blues and roots rock fans from all over the country coming in to see the amazing Devon Allman Blues Summit with four headline stars in one show for free!

Descending from Southern Royalty, Devon Allman Brings his “Blues Summit” to Mardi Gras AC

Devon Allman is not only the son of southern rock and blues rock icon Greg Allman, but he is one of the top headline stars in the current generation of the music world of Americana jam bands, and one of the greatest blues performers in the world.

Amazingly, it will be a complete Blues Summit with four world class performers from the tremendously popular southern rock headliners, Wet Willie to the stirring emotions of Neo soul and legendary soulful blues of Larry McCray, an international attraction on the blues festival circuit.

The Devon Allman Project combines the instrumental wizardry of the very best young blues rockin’ performers and instrumentalists with the soul of southern rock and blues in his blood and the perfectly balanced combination of famous southern rock hits to signature originals and contemporary favorites.

This show alone would be one of the best of summer, but when Tony Mart Presents Mardi Gras on the Boardwalk, there is always an over abundance of world class entertainment!

Wildly popular in the south for so many years, Wet Willie toured to huge crowds and rode the top of the charts with their iconic hits like “Keep on Smiling”! This will be a unique treat for most fans in the northeast who never saw Wet Willie’s legendary performances. Renowned and famous for his stage performance, Jimmy Hall only knows how to do it one way and he will do just that on the Boardwalk with this incredible ensemble of world class musicians.

Living proof of why New Orleans is still one of the greatest music cities ever, having given the world American music, Sierra Green has arisen out of the sultry New Orleans music scene calling the heavenly sounds of Aretha Franklin and Etta James, while defining her own New Orleans Neo soul in commanding stage performances.

Balancing it all is the soulful blues artist from Saginaw, Michigan, Larry McCray, who’s powerful voice and compelling blues performance, combined with his own great music and deft guitar performance, makes him a major attraction having recorded his last album with world famous blues rock headliner Joe Bonamassa.

Putting it all together this remarkable combination of four of the greatest, makes the August 20th Devon Allman Blues Summit one of the very finest free live Headline Concerts on the East coast this summer. Unbelievably we will have all four of those Headliners in one compelling performance!

It all starts at 7pm. Bring your festival chairs and your dancing shoes!
