(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- The Stone Pony will celebrate the club's 52nd anniversary weekend with The Ocean Avenue Ramble - an evening of non-stop co-headline sets by Jackson Pines and Ocean Avenue Stompers culminating in the Pine Barrens Stomp on Friday, February 6, 2026 at 8:00pm.
Jackson Pines and Ocean Avenue Stompers are joining forces to co-headline a One Night Only engagement featuring the region’s premier folk and horn bands, highlighting rootsy and soulful sounds from the South Jersey Pines to the Jersey Shore Boardwalk.
NPR Music and Billboard acclaimed folk band Jackson Pines, fresh off a headlining set at the New Jersey Folk Festival, will be celebrating the release of their new full length record Wheel, which will be available for the first time at the show. Named the 2024 Band of the Year by New Jersey Stage and The Aquarian, Jackson Pines has spent the last year recording new original songs as well as preserving traditional folk music from The Pine Barrens.
Jackson Pines has played with likes of Old Crow Medicine Show, Billy Strings, and Nicole Atkins, and are Sea.Hear.Now alumni. On this night, expect string band and full band sets, as well as collaborations with the Stompers.
Having played at the Pony since they were teenagers at matinees, Joe, James, and band are excited to come home.
Ocean Avenue Stompers are no strangers to The Pony, either. Known for their undeniable energy and creative power, they return for their first co-headlining set at the venue, mere days before Mardi Gras and setting the tone the Anniversary weekend.
This show also marks eight years of the Stompers, a run that has included standout moments at The Pony: shows with Dogs In A Pile, joining Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes or LaBamba’s Big Band, and holding down the horns at the Ocean Avenue Stomp Afterparty during Sea.Hear.Now, joining Tangiers Blues Band and backing artists from Bruce Springsteen to Brandon Flowers as well as Jim James and Danny Clinch. Turning in multiple sets and collaborating, this night promises to be another memorable chapter in the journey of the Stompers.
Tickets are $35.50 and available for purchase online. The Stone Pony is located at 913 Ocean Avenue in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
Don't miss this Pony Anniversary Celebration packed with joyous music, multiple sets in different configurations, music including New Orleans and American folk favorites, exciting new originals, special guests from the scene, and the two band super-jam The Pine Barrens Stomp.
