Memorial Day Weekend
In what's going to be one of the first, big, post-Sandy summer events of 2013, New Jersey's own Gaslight Anthem will kick off this year's Stone Pony Summer Stage series with two Memorial Day Weekend performances on the venue's outdoor stage.
On Saturday, May 25th, Brooklyn's The Hold Steady is the opener with The Felice Brothers taking that duty on Sunday, May 26th. There is an online ticket presale on Wednesday March 20th, followed by a sale to the general public that starts on Friday, March 22nd. If you can make it to the box office, you can get tickets there starting Thursday and save yourself a bit in fees.
It's appropriate, I think, to kick off what's going to be an important summer here at the Shore with a band, loved the world over, whose heart and soul is here in The Garden State. I reviewed the band's latest album, Handwritten, earlier this year; and I got a chance to see Brian Fallon as part of the On The Beach benefit at the beginning of the year. I'm looking forward to finally getting a chance to see the whole band.
I also love The Hold Steady. If you're planning to go to either of the shows, that's the one where you'll likely see CoolMom and me.
The Gaslight Anthem shot the video for "45," the first single from Handwritten, in Asbury Park.
Here's the video for "Here Comes My Man."
