Asbury Park Oyster Festival 9/27/09

Although the rain poured down in the morning and the skies looked threatening all day, the second annual Asbury Park Oyster Festival went on as planned and a great time was had by all. With a large, enthusiastic crowd taking it all in, the band performed a power-packed, streamlined 50-minute set. Relatives, parents, children, friends, Asbury Park natives, New Jerseyians, dancing clowns and oyster-lovers were all in attendence as we played on a huge stage that was set up literally right beyond where The Palace once stood. "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)" was performed in honor of the Asbury's glory days as well as the new revitalization of the city. Thanks to all who attended.

Despite some early technical difficulties with the house PA, it was another fun night at Shady Katie's where audience members called out requests and danced until the wee hours of the night. Special thanks to the folks sporting our stickers during the performance.

Labor Day Weekend 2009-

A glorious summer came to a close with a sweaty Jersey Shore bar gig on Saturday night and a posh, elegant country club gig in Delaware on Sunday. Although the venues couldn’t have been more different, the net result was the same: a rockin’ good time was had by all.

Saturday night’s show brought us back to our favorite local bar, The Mad Hatter in Sea Bright and as expected a crowd of rowdy, enthusiastic, fun-loving, fantastic guys and girls were on hand to sing and dance the night away. It’s a great feeling to walk into a venue knowing that the crowd is going to be awesome and the good people at the Mad Hatter have never let us down. The night was highlighted by the now-customary dancing on the bar and sing-along during “Thunder Road.”

Sunday’s show took place at the gorgeous Peninsula Country Club in Millsboro, Delaware. The skies initially looked threatening, but thankfully the rain held off and we wound up with a beautiful evening complete with a pleasant breeze coming off of Indian River Bay. This show’s crowd was pumped up from the get-go and featured an abundance of families and kids all dancing along. While the first set was a hit, the second set was outstanding as country clubbers rocked out to songs like “Ramrod,” “Rosalita,” “Dancing in the Dark” and “Quarter to Three.” We couldn’t have asked for a better way to close out the summer of ’09.
