A special concert event has been added for the first Friday of 2012 — Jan. 6 — as Hawkins Road Trio will be performing your favorite pop, rock and country tunes. The trio includes “Ernie T” Trionfo on guitar and vocals, Jimmy “Old School” Glenn on drums and vocals, and Brian “The Voice” Conover  on keyboards and vocals.

Then on Saturday, Jan. 14, the action moves to Sandi Pointe Coastal Bistro, 908 Shore Road in Somers Point, for the long-awaited CD release party of The Billy Walton Band’s Crank it Up — which features rock ‘n roll sounds reminiscent of Springsteen, Southside Johnny and, of course, the Rock ‘n Roll of Tony Mart’s.

And don’t forget Tony Mart’s Super Bowl Celebration on Friday, Feb. 3, as two of the greatest local legends, Danny Eyer and Bobby Campanell, perform at Formica Brothers Café from 7-10pm.
Save the date to support Frank Gross (from The Shakes) and his family on Sunday, March 11, at Sandi Pointe when we begin to feel the upcoming excitement of the spring-and-summer concert season with a special “Tony Mart’s All-Star Jam,” which will include The Shakes and several other outstanding outfits.
