Cosmic Jerry Band
A Night of Grateful Dead Family Music
The Cosmic Jerry Band rocks the Wonder Bar with a night of Grateful Dead Family music. Grab your dancing shows and get ready to party with Dead favorites and so much more.
Cosmic Jerry Band is a high-energy Grateful Dead inspired quartet comprised of Ty Mares on guitar/vocals, John “Jelly Roll” Nemeth on bass/vocals, Billy Siegel on keys/vocals, and Dan Donovan on drums/percussion. They blend decades worth of experience with a passion for present-moment jam and a “no limits” approach to playing, embracing the “cosmic” element at the heart of their project.
“Fueled by fans, dubbed ‘cosmicnauts,’ CJB pushes far beyond the parameters of a typical jam band and into cosmic territory.” – Sound Waves
Sandy Mack’s Wonder Jam
featuring Sandy Mack & Friends
Sandy Mack leads a stellar rotating house band for two long sets of classic rock, jam and blues with plenty of good ol’ Grateful Dead! Live music starts early at 4:20 with special guest openers and surprise guest musicians.
To the Jersey Shore music fans, he is an ambassador of everything good about our music scene whose presence is familiar as a favorite club or neighborhood watering hole. To his fellow music makers, he’s the go-to man for all manner of sessions and sitting-in situations — a blues harp ace who can stake out harmonious common ground with acoustic old-schoolers, supercharged ax slingers, roots rockers and alt-Americana songsmiths alike. Or, as local radio linchpin Rich Robinson said, “he could sit in with anybody like he’s played with them forever.”
Sandy Mack is the ultimate ringmaster of a weekly ritual that rivals any family’s most cherished Sunday-sauce tradition. The Wonder Jam 2025 returns with an extended fanbase of musical regulars, guest players, fans, friends, and always interesting cast of Asbury Park characters now known as the “Jamily.” Join us when Sandy Mack’s Sunday Jam comes home to the Wonder Bar!
A power funk septet, WOM is an immersive experience that can only be described as a soulful journey that pushes the limits in the 4th dimension of psychedelic grooves. With strutting guitar riffs, transcendent horns, and heady organ depth, the live performances take you on a cathartic journey where you shed the weight of the world with everyone in attendance. Traversing the inner workings of the human soul, everything seems to be in its right place when the Mongo party hits full throttle.
WOM has relentlessly displayed a level of musicianship that continues to impress both music critics and fans alike, winning awards in their hometown of Asbury Park for consecutive years. With a permeating aura of soulful energy, that illuminates every venue, the band is on a collision course for new locations to spread the love that is their music.
Waiting On Mongo is Mike [guitar, vocals], Johnny [bass], Anders [saxophone], Mongo [keyboards], Matt [drums], Harry [percussion] and Bruce [trumpet].

Husbands knows the galvanizing power of an anthemic, hair-raising song. As the co-founding songwriter behind the Oklahoma City indie rock outfit Husbands, Danny Davis has been meticulously crafting emotionally potent tunes about finding your place in the world. His writing always strives to break free from monotony and routine, aiming for meaning and clarity through massive choruses and colorful arrangements. CUATRO, Husbands’ adventurous and triumphant fourth album out Oct. 13 via Cowboy 2.0 and Thirty Tigers, marks a turning point for the band. It’s the first LP written after the departure of longtime bandmate and collaborator, Wil Norton. It’s also an album that Davis made during a time of relative personal stability after quitting his nine-to-five and moving with his wife to Costa Rica. Across 11 arena-filling and richly-produced tracks, the full-length is a document of his growth as a human being and a testament to finding peace in relationships evolving.
Monster Energy Outbreak Tour Presents: MASON RAMSEY
As the youngest major label country artist signed in the genre in nearly two decades, Mason Ramsey continues his fast track to stardom as he has already delivered three acclaimed EPs, earned a gold-certified single, headlined two tours in addition to supporting a Las Vegas residency, and has amassed more than 450 million global streams to date.
Ramsey’s new music illustrates how far he’s come after being discovered singing in an aisle at his local Walmart. The differences prove instantly apparent as his voice boasts the kind of confidence only gained through experience and his songwriting brims with unfiltered truth buoyed by intimate creativity. Ramsey debuted his transformed vocals in his latest offering Blue Over You, which amassed nearly 5 million streams within the first two weeks of its release (the song now has more than 16 million streams on Spotify alone). The single also pays tribute to his love of classic country inspired by Elvis, Hank Williams, Jim Croce, Roy Orbison and was highly praised as a “well-written and well-produced tune” by Anthony Fantano’s The Needle Drop.
Blue Over You is just the tip of the iceberg, offering a small glimpse into Ramsey’s debut album, I’ll See You In My Dreams. The collection of 14 songs, including drifting lovesick ballad Come Pick Me Up At The End Of The Night, further instills Ramsey’s growth and maturity (in both life and song) while giving listeners a true understanding of who he is as an artist. Having co-written every tune, Ramsey intimately portrays the feelings he’s experienced from his upbringing on, inviting fans to understand him on a deeper level. In short, I’ll See You In My Dreams is a true coming-of-age album.
Mason was praised by The New York Times for delivering “stylistically diverse country and roots music” with his debut EP Famous, which spawned a hit single of the same name and scored a No. 4 spot on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart. In addition to making his debut at the famed Grand Ole Opry, the Golconda, Illinois-bred phenom has also performed at several high-profile festivals including CMA Fest, Coachella, iHeart Country Festival, and Stagecoach. Most recently, he was pulled on stage by 11-time Grammy Award nominee Lana Del Rey (a self-proclaimed Mason Ramsey fan) to perform Blue Over You with the songstress before a sold-out crowd at her show in Boston’s legendary Fenway Park. He has made high-profile TV performances on Ellen, Good Morning America, and Today, as well as award show appearances on the CCMA Awards, CMA Awards, CMT Music Awards, and Grammy Awards. His high-energy run Shake, Shake (All Night Long) was recently featured on the critically acclaimed Twisters soundtrack.
Get ready for a night of high-energy, no-nonsense rock & roll as The Pontiacs bring their electrifying 2 set rock and roll show to Wonder Bar. Hailing from the Jersey Shore, this powerhouse band has been touring the local scene since 2019, delivering a killer mix of classics and modern anthems.
From the legendary sounds of Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones, The Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, and Bruce Springsteen to the rock sounds of today like Jason Isbell, Zach Bryan, and The Gaslight Anthem, they keep the spirit of rock and roll alive with every show.
The Pontiacs are no strangers to Asbury Park. Having headlined Wonder Bar multiple times and playing to a sold out Stone Pony crowd while opening for Super Trans Am, they know how to keep the Jersey Shore crowd on their feet all night long.
