The partnership between Split Level Concerts and JSAC brings critically acclaimed national and international touring Americana and contemporary folk musicians to the Jersey Shore. Split Level Concerts began as a house concert series in 2000 and grew to eventually present shows at the JCC of Central NJ in Scotch Plains and the Union County Performing Arts Center in Rahway before moving to the Jersey Shore Arts Center last October. The series has presented more than 130 shows since its inception.

Net ticket proceeds from all Split Level concerts support the programming and arts education offered by the Jersey Shore Arts Center, a non-profit organization serving Ocean Grove and its surrounding areas.  In addition, Jersey Shore Arts Center and Split Level Concerts are proud to partner with Brookdale Public Radio 90.5 The Night and Musicians On A Mission (MOAM) to promote the concert series.

Musicians On A Mission is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating connection and inspiring giving through music. Last season, the volunteers from MOAM collected hundreds of dollars in donations for various local non-profits while also accepting food donations on behalf of Fulfill (formerly the Food Bank of Monmouth & Ocean County).  This season, MOAM has chosen Fulfill as their sole beneficiary and will be on hand at all shows collecting non-perishable food and cash donations for their benefit.

Split Level Concerts at JSAC is actively seeking sponsors for the series.  If you are interested in becoming a series sponsor, contact Troy Deckebach at tdeckebach@gmail.com.

In addition to live music, the Jersey Shore Arts Center offers a wide variety of programming, including visual arts, wellness, dance, theater, and comedy. The venue is located at 66 South Main Street in Ocean Grove.
