    ElmThree presents High Fade
    Life’s Too Fast Tour
    with Round Trip

    On a three-man crusade to set dance floors alight with their inimitable brand of razor-sharp funk and disco, High Fade can already count Jack Black, Cypress Hill, Deep Purple’s Glenn Hughes and Brad Wilk from Rage Against the Machine as fans. Honing their sound on the streets of their native Edinburgh, the band are at their best when up close and personal with audiences. With over one thousand gigs now under their belt, High Fade’s refined, infectious live performances have become an integral part of the band’s DNA, allowing them to put on a show that supersedes anything their fans have experienced before.

    Sandy Mack’s Wonder Jam 

    featuring: Sandy Mack & Friends 4:20 to 8:00 pm

    Sandy Mack leads a stellar rotating house band for two long sets of – Classic Rock / Jam / Blues with plenty of good ole Grateful Dead!

    Live music starts early at 4:20! Special guest openers and always 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 on Sunday February 2nd 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 the Sandy Mack’s Sunday Jam comes home to the Wonder Bar!

    ElmThree Presents An Evening with Neighbor

    The band Neighbor began over 35 years ago – they just didn’t know it yet. Childhood neighbors Richard James (vocals, keys) and Lyle Brewer (guitar) shared fence lines and melodies as they both grew and explored their own musical paths. The quartet became complete with the addition of Dan Kelly (bass) and Dean Johnston (drums) in 2019. Their creative incubation began with a weekly residency that grew in large part by the passion of their fans, the “Neighbors,” who continue to inspire the band as the fan base has expanded across the country.

    With a diverse catalog of hundreds of songs, the musical juggernaut Neighbor has become one of the most exciting and unpredictable live bands on the music scene today. Neighbor combines ambitious composition, soulful balladry, and a fearless approach to their lengthy improvisations. Not boxed in by a single genre, their songwriting brings elements of Americana, Funk, Rock, Jazz, Soul and more. The band is putting pen to paper once again as they head back into the studio to begin work on their second album.

    COME SEE WHAT’S GOOD IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
