(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- The Stone Pony is proud to present 2011 Asbury Music Award Top Jam/Groove band, Wakah Chan, in concert on Thursday, August 9th, 2012 at 7pm opening for world famous funk band Galactic.

There is nothing quite like Wakah Chan; soulful, moody and evocative music, where each member shines and brings their totality to the table. They have won over the most diverse of crowds; from playing high end lounges, to dive bars and everything in between. Young and old alike, they have never found a crowd that did not resonate with their sound. One fan said “If ya cant groove to that, you ain't got no soul."

In a short time Wakah Chan has captivated the Tri-state music scene with a style all their own. They have played some of the finest venues in the area and have great plans for the future including the upcoming release of their debut studio EP, "The Art Of Compromise". Wakah Chan also gives as much as they are given, playing benefits and fundraisers for the Monmouth SPCA, Light Of Day Foundation, and Relay For Life among other causes close to their hearts.

"Wakah Chan rubs the funk on a brand of Bluesified Jazz-Rock that has captivated Asbury audiences up and down the boardwalk for decades it seems... the not so free form four-piece does recall a time when the gin-swigging speakeasies of the underground were the preferred music venue of choice..." -- CHRIS ROTOLO, SPEAK INTO MY GOOD EYE

"Wakah Chan is based in Asbury Park but they call the whole Tri-State area their playground, performing at festivals, clubs and just about any venue that craves their colorful sounds including fundraisers and benefits for charities such as Relay For Life, Strangers Helping Strangers and the Monmouth County SPCA. With a constant impetus to uplift and play to the crowd, Wakah Chan continue to hone their fun and quirky sound while creating an interactive and positive energy exchange on the music scene and dance floors everywhere." --JOHN PFEIFFER, THE AQUARIAN
