John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band are celebrating the band’s 50th anniversary at this special Stone Pony 50th event!

Hailing from Rhode Island, the band quickly adopted New Jersey as their second home while becoming one of the hottest East Coast circuit bands by the late ’70s. JCBBB frequented top Jersey Shore venues including the Fastlane, Big Man’s West, Tony Mart’s and The Stone Pony. They burst on to the national scene in the 1980s with the Eddie and the Cruisers motion picture soundtrack.

The hit single On the Dark Side held the No. 1 position on the Billboard Rock charts and the MTV video charts for five consecutive weeks. The album sold more than 3 million copies and was certified Triple Platinum by the RIAA. The fictional band Eddie and the Cruisers portrayed in the film was ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the 25 greatest movie rock bands.

John Cafferty and the BBB is still revered by fans and critics alike as one of the top live rock shows around. Their shows are generally a good time rock ‘n’ roll marathon loaded with the Cafferty hits, fan favorites, and plenty of R&B classics. Three founding members are driving the band into their 50th year: Gary Gramolini on lead guitar, Michael “Tunes” Antunes on saxophone, and John Cafferty with vocals and guitar.

John and the band always work the Pony fans all over the venue. Be ready to grab your drinks if the band starts jamming on your bar! Join us for what is always a memorable Pony show. Early showtime ia 8 pm with special guests to be announced.

THE STRUTS
The Pretty Vicious Tour 2024
with special guest Barns Courtney
on The Stone Pony Summer Stage

Doors: 6:30 PM
Show: 7:30 PM

ABOUT THE STRUTS: The Struts have been a live sensation since they first erupted onto the scene with their certified Platinum anthem, “Could’ve Been Me,” taking the No. 5 spot on Alternative Radio and introducing the world to their triumphant, timeless rock sound. Following the release of their critically-acclaimed debut, 2016’s Everybody Wants, the British rockers set out on the road, bringing their energetic tracks alive on stage with larger-than-life performances and cementing their reputation as a must-see live act. Lead vocalist Luke Spiller, guitarist Adam Slack, bassist Jed Elliott, and drummer Gethin Davies have continued to prove themselves worthy of that distinction since first coming together in Derby, England back in 2012. They’ve opened for the likes of the Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, and Guns N’ Roses, while selling out shows across the globe and leaving a trail of unbridled rock collections, including 2018’s Young & Dangerous and 2020’s Strange Days, in their wake. Their on-stage prowess and perpetual musicality have allowed them to reach the No. 1 spot on Spotify’s Viral Top 50, garner more than 850 million on-demand streams. Now, The Struts have taken the raucous nature of their live shows and transmuted it into an album, fusing their arena-sized energy into their most concentrated and exciting songs to date. “This record showcases each individual member’s strengths,” Spiller says of their fourth album and first full-length release on Big Machine/John Varvatos Records, Pretty Vicious. “It’s some of my favorite music, hands down, we’ve ever conjured up. It’s the record everyone’s been waiting for.”

THE DALES
Chevy Lopez
Good Looks

Something magical happens when the three members of The Dales – Drew Lawrence, Preston Pope, and Jacqueline Tozzi – start singing together. On their album, Multi Trick Pony, their vocal harmonizing delivers an exquisite blending of soaring beauty and organic emotions. The album also reflects, as Lawrence explains, “the balance of our different musical influences and finding a place where we all meet together in harmony.”

The 13-song collection draws upon Lawrence’s interests in rough-hewn country rock, Tozzi’s deep love for soul music, and Pope’s affection for nicely polished classic rock to create a sound that is a refreshing mix of modern and vintage.

The first single, “Glass Wall,” perfectly represents the trio’s musical symmetry. The rock ‘n’ soul power ballad is fueled by Tozzi’s commanding vocals that swing from demure to Joplin-like belting, with Pope’s electric guitar flash injecting a rock edge and Lawrence’s piano and a B3 organ adding a rootsy Americana flavor. All three come together on the song’s rousing chorus. The trio put their own spin on the hit “Jar of Hearts” (co-written by Lawrence and Christina Perri), giving the pop tune a back porch feel.

It is the interweaving of Lawrence, Pope, and Tozzi’s voices that forms the cornerstone of the new album. All three sing on the aptly titled “All In,” with this fun, power-pop rave-up’s lead vocals alternating between Lawrence and Pope. On the Tom Petty-esque ballad “Hurt” and the alluring “Stay,” The Dales’ gorgeous three-part harmonies articulate the heartfelt emotions in these introspective lyrics.

Besides “Glass Wall,” Tozzi’s vibrant singing is showcased on the smoldering “Blue Eyes Dark City” and the funky barnburner “Hold Me Back.” Pope is the featured singer on the twangy traveling tune, “Ridin the Rails,” a re-imagined early Dales’ tune and Lawrence handles the main vocals on the lovely “Remind You,” a poignant, tender song about being there for someone.

During the pandemic, Lawrence, Pope, and Tozzi set about working on new songs. They practiced in Lawrence’s front yard, trying to sing three-part harmonies while social distancing. While it was a challenging period, the experience strengthened their friendships and their creative process as a trio.

In November 2021, they headed to Bear Creek Studios in Washington, reuniting with producer Jerry Streeter (Brandi Carlile, The Lumineers) – who helmed their debut album Marie. Multi Trick Pony was recorded live over the course of two weeks. Lawrence played the organ, piano, and keyboards, while Pope performed all the guitar parts. For the rhythm section. Streeter brought in two Seattle musicians: bassist Jeremy Lightfoot (Vance Joy, Satchel), who had played on The Dales’ debut, and drummer Mark Pickerel (Screaming Trees, the Secret Sisters).

Following the past few difficult years, The Dales set their focus on exploring the positive side of surviving – be it the pandemic or relationships – and creating music that makes listeners feel joy and happiness. The trio crafted songs featuring bigger hooks and lyrics that were less abstract and more relatable than they had done in their earlier days. “You can’t help but feel good,” Lawrence says about listening to the music.

Pope and Lawrence, who have played in bands together on and off for over 15 years, first formed The Dales in 2015. In 2017, an early incarnation of The Dales released their debut, Marie. The band’s folky Americana sound led Parade Magazine to praise the “incredible multi- part vocal harmony reminiscent of CSN (and) the fabulous musicianship of this group.” They toured across the country, headlining shows, and sharing the stages with such acts as Marc Broussard, Cris Jacobs, and The White Buffalo.

Lawrence, a multi-platinum songwriter/producer, began working with Tozzi in the spring of 2019, with the goal to develop songs for her as a solo artist. The Dales, meanwhile, were working on an EP, Easy Times. That fall, however, the group’s then-singer Carrie Turner decided to move on. Lawrence asked Tozzi if she would like to join The Dales, and she enthusiastically agreed.

2020 got off to an excellent start for The Dales with the release of Easy Times. On this five-song EP, the Dales began expanding the folksy sound of Marie, with a ‘70s rock vibe, which American Songwriter described as “uplifting and classic.” Tozzi contributed vocals on a few tracks, including “Homesick Summertime Anthem” that raised the band’s profile when it was used in a radio ad campaign. While on tour in support of the new EP, The Dales performed at Los Angeles’ fabled Troubadour and recorded the show, releasing it later as a live album. As momentum was building for the trio, the tour shut down – as did the rest of the world – due to Covid.

The kinship that Lawrence, Pope, and Tozzi have developed is revealed in the musical unity that courses through Multi Trick Pony filling their songs with a natural, welcoming quality that makes The Dales’ music easy to embrace.

“Our purpose is to ride the celebratory part of life,” Lawrence reveals. “We just want to try and lift people up for the hour or two hours they are with us, whether they are listening to our album or listening to our show.”

SOMETHING CORPORATE
Out of Office Tour 2024
on The Stone Pony Summer Stage
with Hidden In Plain View

“The band and I couldn’t be more excited for these upcoming dates,” shares front man Andrew McMahon. “We’re having more fun together than ever and the generosity of the fans, both online and at last year’s shows, made it impossible not to come back and do a few more. We hope to see you there!”

The core members of the Orange County, California quintet – Andrew McMahon(vocals, piano), Josh Partington (guitar), Kevin “Clutch” Page (bass), Brian Ireland (drums), and William Tell (guitar) – reunited in 2023 for main stage performances at the When We Were Young festival and three sold-out headlining shows in Las Vegas and Anaheim. These five special gigs, their first official shows together in 20 years, left their dedicated fanbase clamoring for more. The reunion performances also saw McMahon debut a one-of-a-kind upright piano fully wrapped in Christie MicroTiles LED displaying images and lyrics from throughout the band’s catalog, slated to be front and center once again on the Out Of Office Tour.

Something Corporate first formed in 1998 when its members were in high school and in a short period of time created quite the stir before going on hiatus in 2005. During its tenure, the highly adored SoCal band released multiple albums, including their major label debut, Leaving Through The Window, in 2002 via MCA Records/Drive-Thru Records, which premiered at the top of the Billboard Heatseekers Chart, and 2003’s North, which entered the Billboard 200 at #24. During its heyday, the band toured extensively worldwide, including a summer on the Vans Warped Tour, graced the cover of Alternative Press magazine, and performed on late-night TV including an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Collectively, Something Corporate – hailed as “one of the most respected groups in the scene with their incredible hooks and emotionally transparent music” (Alternative Press) – has sold more than 1 million total records.

$1 per ticket goes towards The Dear Jack Foundation, which provides impactful programming that directly benefits adolescents and young adults diagnosed with cancer in order to improve their quality of life and create positive health outcomes from treatment to survivorship for patients and their families.

BROOKS NIELSEN of The Growlers
Chinese Fountain 10th Anniversary Show

Brooks Nielsen, lead singer of surf-psych icons The Growlers, revisits the band’s classic album, Chinese Fountain, to celebrate its tenth anniversary. Nielsen will perform the album from start to finish (and then some) this fall at 26 very special North American shows.

Chinese Fountain is The Growlers’ fourth studio album and sees the band evolve from a psych-circus, while remaining true to the band’s “beach goth” essence. It is blessedly direct, with razor sharp songwriting and engaging melodies at the center of every song; “Big Toe,” “Going Gets Tough,” “Love Test,” “Rare Hearts” and or course, the disco-punk and synth-splashed title track. It was that track that signaled the band’s move from the dive bar to the dance floor–a precursor of sorts to the band’s follow-up, the Julian Casablancas-produced City Club.

Uncompromising, enigmatic, and wildly ambitious, Nielsen isn’t tiptoeing into his solo career. The energetic singer has had a busy couple of years, embarking on headline tours where he regularly performs more than two hours each night, sometimes stretching his show past the three-hour mark.

His latest singles “Tropical Cowboy” and “Chew My Heart Out,” function as a duo. A couple. A gemini gesture to herald his upcoming second solo album, A Ride I’m Waiting For. Originally written in 2014 for Chinese Fountain, the songs are a sneaky flashback to a different era when The Growlers released tracks as “couples.” Not singles, but two songs together, intertwined in thought and expression.

You can hear the new tracks live at the upcoming Chinese Fountain 10th Anniversary Shows as well as songs from Nielsen’s 20-track solo debut One Match Left and subsequent The Circle and Psycho EPs. Nielsen’s dynamic set lists have been loaded with Growlers’ classics, deep cuts, choice covers, and stripped-down, unplugged mini-sets.

Aided by a live band that includes Growlers drummer Richard Gowen, bassist Brogan Dutcher, keyboardist Cole Riddle, and guitarists J.D. Carrera and Elyadeen Anbar, Nielsen melds the live spontaneity of the improv-driven rock scene with the energy of his punk peers.

MYLES KENNEDY
The Art Of Letting Go Tour
with Tim Montana
and Sons of Silver

As a prolific songwriter, powerhouse vocalist, and a skilled guitar player, Myles Kennedy tunes into the rhythm of his surroundings and goes with the flow. Fronting Alter Bridge, his soaring vocals, open-hearted lyrics, and airtight riffs have fueled the group’s global impact as a critically acclaimed, arena-filling force of nature over two decades-plus.

On the microphone for Slash and The Conspirators, his towering range and magnetic stage presence has consistently stunned audiences since 2010. Becoming a celebrated collaborator, he’s the rare presence just as comfortable on a track with Disturbed, Halestorm, and Sevendust as he is with Gov’t Mule and Darryl “DMC” McDaniels. It’s why he’s generated over 1 billion cumulative streams, earned gold and platinum certifications worldwide, uplifted countless fans, and KERRANG! christened him “one of rock’s finest vocalists.” It’s also why he’s carved out his own lane.

With two solo efforts under his belt and sold out headline tours in the rearview, a sense of keenly honed intuition guides his third full-length LP, The Art of Letting Go [Napalm Records]. “I’ve been going through a massive Bruce Lee kick, no pun intended,” he smiles. “His quote, ‘Be water, my friend’, always stuck with me. On a grander scale, it represents the record. It’s an exercise in removing prior restrictions and shattering the parameters I set up for myself as a solo artist. This is a rock record. In the past, I thought rock might be a little too close to the other projects. Instead, I just let go and embraced my essence as a singer, guitar player, and writer. This is who I am. This is my DNA. Instead of being apologetic and shying away from it, I’m letting go and being myself.”
