Jeff Schwachter has a classic duel personality. By day he is the excellent editor of Atlantic City Weekly. By night he is an excellent singer/guitarist who fronts the band Ocean Ryders. The Ocean Ryders have performed numerous times at various events in the region.

Schwachter’s eclectic musical taste ranges from classic blues and rock to almost anything imaginable from the Bob Dylan songbook.

If you stop by Trump Plaza’s Beach Bar (beach at Mississippi Ave.) this Friday, June 3, you can check out the Ocean Ryders at 5pm, followed by the band featuring Philadelphia Daily News columnist Chuck Darrow, Rendezvous, at 6pm.

Some artists are good with both words … and music.

The N.J. champion will get the chance to compete at the 95th annual Nathan’s Famous July Fourth International Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, N.Y., where three-time defending national champion Joey Chestnut of San Jose, Cal., consumed 68 Nathan’s Famous hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes to set a new world record in 2009.
“Nathan’s Famous is excited that Trump Plaza is one of the official stops on our nationwide campaign to find the greatest, most patriotic hot dog lovers in America,” said Wayne Norbitz, President and CEO of Nathan’s Famous, in the release. “We look forward to welcoming New Jersey’s representative to the table in Coney Island, and we expect our 2010 championship to be bigger and more memorable than ever before.”
The event will kick off the summer of 2010, and is just one of many highlights Trump Plaza is planning for the Memorial Day Weekend and the summer season. Qualifiers are open to those 18 years of age and older. Applications are only taken online by going here. The event is free and open to the public.
