Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites...7/11/24

by Danny Coleman
published 2024-07-11

"We have played The Lizzie Rose and that's why we're coming back," emphatically stated Mike Williamson of Beach Boys tribute band Sail On which will dock at The Tuckerton music venue on July 19 for a 7:30 p.m. show.  "We played there as what they call a "Routing date;" it's a very small, very intimate hall which caters to original music and regional local voices but it looked so cool. I don't handle that side of the business, I'm a little bit more on the musical tech side, my business partner Matt Thompson does all the booking stuff and I don't know how he came across it but he said, "What about this place? It looks like a cool thing; maybe we can do it as an acoustic show?" So, we took a shot at it because it was on route and we had some time in the tour schedule and so we took it. It was really fun, it was really great because normally we don't get to do anything that is that intimate or that close. Most of what we do is the Summer festival thing, small theaters, parks, community concerts but nothing that is like a music listening room. So, it was fun for us as a departure; you could tell we were very atypical for the venue but it was well received, we had a blast, it was really great, it was a cool, quirky place to play and we really enjoyed it. So, Matt just kind of bookmarked it in his mind, thinking hey, if we ever get back up in that region of the nation we might just come by there again and lo and behold it worked out for this summer that we're gonna be back by there on the coast and we get to go by again and we're looking forward to it."

PHOTOS from moe. and Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country at The Stone Pony

Asbury Park, NJ held their fireworks display on July 3rd this year. Jokingly, I asked myself was this because moe. was back at the Summer Stage?! Clearly, it was because July 4th was a Thursday this year and it did not benefit completely as the introduction to the holiday weekend. Because of this the vibe in the air arriving in Asbury was different. More intimate, as if the people gathered knew this was the place to be if they were meant to be there. Within 10 minutes upon my arrival, I ran into 2 friends. Extended moe.ron family, one who was camped out for the show in a grass strip between streets outside of the venue.
