The Voice of Yes: Jon Anderson LIVE! at Ocean City Music Pier
 
By Spotlight Central
 
It’s a gorgeous Monday, July 29, 2019 evening on the boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ, where music fans are lining up for a live Ocean City Music Pier performance by English singer/songwriter Jon Anderson, best known as a founding member of the progressive rock band, Yes.



Victorian Meets Vaudeville at Cape May MAC
 
By Shen Shellenberger,

A New Jersey summer getaway often includes a trip to the shore (that’s Jersey-speak for beach or coast; sometimes referred to as downtheshore). And the shore has a lot to offer: You can stroll in the sand and swim in the ocean, take a boat ride and go water skiing, hit the arcades and play a round of miniature golf. Or, for something altogether different, you can head over to Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities (MAC)’s Emlen Physick Estate to experience “Victorian Vaudeville,” an entertaining, family-friendly production performed by REV Theatre Company.



ROCK ON! This Week's Sound Bites...8/8/19
 
By Danny Coleman
 
A little more than a year ago, Neshanic Station, NJ songwriter/guitarist Tom Flynn released "Travels," a 10 track disc that lives up to its name. "Travels" meanders in and out of styles, genres and tempos while taking the listeners on an eclectic journey inside the artist's songwriting mind. 



Makin Waves with Little Vicious: Rappin' redemption with the Riff Witch!
 
By Bob Makin
 
Asbury Park/Orlando-based Marguerite King’s tale of musical and personal redemption is as passionate as the pursuit of her dreams with her bad-ass band, Little Vicious.

By Bob Makin

PODCAST: 2 Guys From Jersey - Episode 87
 
The gang returns, well at least most of us do. BTG is off globe trotting, but we pressed on without him. We discuss a fun topic, the funniest females. The doc answers some questions and a listener helps us out with the intro.
