Steal Your Face
The Philadelphia-based band Steal Your Face is no stranger to southern New Jersey, having done numerous local gigs including after-parties at Atlantic City’s Hard Rock Café when the Allman Brothers Band and Furthur (the band featuring the Grateful Dead's Bob Weir and Phil Lesh, among others, which is coming back to Atlantic City in November) were each in A.C. last year.
Early last month, though, the band jammed for the first time on the deck of a party boat during a three-hour back-bay tour of Margate.
“I was really impressed by how cool that was and how well it went,” says Steal Your Face rhythm guitarist Garry Engle.
“Everybody had a great time, so we’re doing it again.”
This Saturday, Sept. 17, from 7-10pm, the five-man band (also including lead guitarist Curtis Eustace, drummer Lou Zalvino, bassist Paul Baroli and keyboardist Michael Morrow) will do another sunset jam aboard the 65-foot Jessie O’ II party boat.
The boat leaves Captain Andy’s Marina (9317 Amherst Ave., Margate) at 7pm and includes a buffet dinner, live music and scenic bay cruise for $40 per person, or $75 per couple.
There will be no liquor served, but patrons are welcome to BYOB.
Call 412-3635 for reservations.

Would you see a Grateful Dead cover band in Atlantic City if bands of that nature were booked inside the casino lounges?
Atlantic City’s proximity to two of the biggest East Coast hotbeds for Deadheads, New York City and Philadelphia, is primarily why smallish casino concert venues can draw sizable crowds with relatively little publicity when bands like Bob Weir’s Ratdog or Phil Lesh’s Phil and Friends visit the resort. But when the two Grateful Dead legends teamed up to form Furthur in 2009, surrounding themselves with other virtuoso musicians and quickly honing a tight-knit sound, tickets got gobbled up at a breakneck pace. Finding a Furthur ticket on the day of last February’s show at the Taj Mahal’s roughly 5,000-seat Mark G. Etess Arena was as tough...
This year’s Atlantic City “Thunder Over the Boardwalk” Air Show will tie into the series with seven outstanding bands performing Monday through Wednesday, Aug. 15-17, including about six hours of music beyond when the air show ends (around 3:30pm) Wednesday.
Forty years ago this summer at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City, the Allman Brothers Band shared a bill with another legendary performer — a four-footed one.
About a dozen blocks south on the Boardwalk, at Caesars Circus Maximus Theater, Trucks’ singer/songwriter/guitarist wife Susan Tedeschi is part of the Experience Hendrix tribute tour, which is likely an unprecedented instance of spouses performing for different headline acts on the same night in Atlantic City.
The last time Gregg Allman visited Atlantic City he tried his hand at the gaming tables. Now you might envision the rock ‘n’ roll legend plunking down fists full of C-notes on high-stakes poker, blackjack or craps, but no. As a gambler he’s cautious, conservative, knows his limitations and avoids being reckless.
By Jeff Schwachter THE CALENDAR MAY TELL YOU THAT IT'S closing in on fall, but at the Borgata, the outdoor concert season is just beginning to heat up. Following a recent performance by Yes at the casino's new outdoor concert venue -- dubbed Outdoors and Live -- the new kid on the Atlantic City block still has several major acts lined up in the coming weeks including Fleetwood Mac, Alicia Keys and this weekend's double shot of Van Halen on Friday night followed by the Allman Brothers -- with special guests, the Wailers -- on Saturday night. Both of the bands coming to town this weekend to perform under the stars are recharged, reinvigorated and ready to roll out the old jams. As for the warhorse band, the Allman Brothers, they're flying high after a recent lineup change -- so long Dickey Betts, hello Warren Haynes -- as well as two critically acclaimed recent releases, one a studio album entitled Hittin' the Note and the other, One Way Out, a two-disc live set. For Van Halen, the band's got lead singer Sammy Hagar back at the helm after an eight-year absence and has been hitting stadiums and arenas across the country...
