Tony Mart Rock 'n' Roll Series
Where: St. Joseph's School Auditorium, Somers Point
When: Saturday, June 6, 7-11pm
Details: Tickets are available at the door for $20, or in advance by calling 334-7140 or 432-0871. The evening includes three live shows, dancing and dinner. Dr. Bobby Fingers, Bobby Campanell, and Howard Isaacson and his band will provide the entertainment, all to benefit the Knights of Columbus and to celebrate the "songs that made Somers Point famous."
Music: The show will feature favorites from the area including "Rock around the Clock" by Billy Haley and Del Shannon's "Runaway." Other songs include those from the 1982 classic Eddie and the Cruisers, which was filmed in Somers Point and those from the band Levon and the Hawks, who performed in Somers Point at Tony Mart's in 1965 before hitting the road with Bob Dylan.
Producer Says: "It's about four decades of rock 'n' roll. Some of the most famous people in the world played in Somers Point -- people who are in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame," says Tony Mart event producer Carmen Marotta. "Because of this, we're going all the way back and celebrating people like Bill Haley; Bob Dylan; even Earth, Wind and Fire."
The Gateway Playhouse in Somers Point was founded in 1910 and moved to its current 280-seat location at Bay and Higbee avenues in the early 1920s. It was purchased by the City of Somers Point in 2006 and has been closed since that time pending much-needed renovations.
If you’re a real food fan, ask to sit in the left rear section. Here you’ll be afforded a peek at the kitchen staff, through a screened service portal, as they prepare your meal.
You might be surprised to hear Andrew Latz refer to his new Somers Point restaurant as a “return to Bay Avenue.”
