Asbury Jams returns to The Wonder Bar in Asbury Park, New Jersey every Thursday beginning on June 11.
The concert series, produced by Elmthree Productions, is a weekly series featuring bands on the cusp of big things within the world of jam with a mix of cover and tribute bands mixed in.
The series will once again have dates that coincide with the annual North 2 Shore Festival which celebrates music, comedy and art throughout the state of New Jersey (including Newark, Asbury Park and Atlantic City). The August 6th show will be take place during “The Days Between Celebration” — a 9 day memorial honoring the passing of Jerry Garcia on August 9, 1995.
