This Weekend Down The Shore: February 7th-February 9th

February 06, 2025

Good Morning! 👋 I’m writing you from sunny Costa Rica! ☀️ 

It’s weekends like this that I’m reminded why I do this and how lucky we all are to live in such an awesome area of the country where there’s so much going on. It’s live music and events galore this weekend. It’s a shame I’m missing it but I’m content where I am right now 😎 

And I know I sound like a broken record but I want to remind you that we’re currently running a giveaway for a $150 Restaurant Gift Card of your choosing to celebrate the 1 Year Anniversary of All Things Jersey Shore!

There’s two things you need to do to qualify between now and February 15th:

  1. Join our Facebook Group! (if you’re already in you still qualify)

  2. Tag your friend(s) in the comments of the Facebook Group’s weekly posts or post an event yourself!

The goal is to have that group be an extension of this newsletter where bands, restaurants, venues, and local businesses go to share even more than what I’m able to find. But that only happens with your help!

P.s. Considering I’m in full vacation mode, I will be skipping Mondays edition of the newsletter!

Have an amazing weekend! 🤘 

I’ll see ya out there,

A MESSAGE FROM THE STONE PONY

Get ready to rock your night this Friday with SLIPPERY WHEN WET, the Ultimate Bon Jovi Tribute Band that brings the heart and soul of New Jersey’s greatest rock legends to life! These seasoned pros don’t just play the hits—they live them, delivering the electrifying energy, soaring vocals, and searing guitar solos that defined Bon Jovi’s golden era. With over 23 years of perfecting their craft, they capture the magic of the '80s with stunning authenticity, from Mike Parkes’ uncanny resemblance to Jon Bon Jovi to Radicci’s note-for-note Sambora solos.

Don’t miss your chance to sing, dance, and relive the anthems that made history—“Livin’ on a Prayer,” “Wanted Dead or Alive,” “You Give Love a Bad Name,” and more! Backed by a powerhouse rhythm section featuring Sean Faust, Ronnie Parkes, and Ron Lipnicki, this is as close as it gets to the real deal. Join us at the Pony for a night of pure Bon Jovi nostalgia—loud, proud, and Jersey strong! 🎸🔥
