the newsdesk wants you to restore the shore …
We’re stoked for Summer 2013, especially at the legendary Stone Pony in Asbury Park, N.J.
Yes, we may be a bit biased since Asbury Park is our homebase, but the line-up this year is probably one of the venue’s best in ages. Obviously you can read the above graphic to check out the SummerStage line-up but we’d like to highlight some shows inside the venue (and some out) that we think you’ll dig.
