Seaside Music Festival Conclusion: May 21 & 22 In the early 1900s, it was a challenge to come up with a plan to build on oceanfront property and attract people to come There. Now, generations later, the town of Seaside Heights has received so much attention that it's a miracle they didn't transplant the Brooklyn Bridge over the Toms River just so tourists would feel more comfortable crossing into the land of the sea, the sun and of sin. The lure of Seaside Heights has drawn every legion of people from across the tri-state area to this family-oriented city for years. The clubs can hold thousands of dancers and twenty people, but the seafront still commands real tourism with its stands. , games and rides that have been a staple here since the turn of the century. Only the carousel has been in the same place since 1932 and is the jewel of only two in existence on the Jersey Shore. The Seaside Music Festival is only in its third year, but they've already made great strides to keep the waterfront community behind them. They. The continuity between the city's businesses and teamwork was evident this weekend thanks to festival co-producer Mike Schwartz. Fellow co-promoters Ryan Sharkey and Jose Anteo were also prepared with interns and section teams in force to keep things moving. This year's festival also had many loyal returning attendees such as The Aztec Motel and Sandbar, The Beach Bar, El Camino and Jack and Bills down the boardwalk, plus many more. Without these supporters there would be no festival, it's a combination of geographical locations, logistics and a community that remains open to new things. Entertainment had everything from daytime surf lessons to national artists like Glenn Tillbrook...middle of paper......eat a big celebration of sound. Horns glide over the top as the band waltzes half-time with pianos and electric guitars throughout the section. Here too the phenomenal background helps friends. Just when you think this wave of Phil Spector sound will overtake the song, it's gone, replaced by Liss and the guitar before they hit you once again, forcing you to hit the play button more than once. Scott Liss and the Sixty-Six are the areas that are emerging as secret weapons that could change the way people see New Jersey on a larger scale. There's no way this band can't do bigger and better things. "The Blackpool Letters" is a scary calling card of monstrous production, talent and performances and I've seen them do the same live too. My advice would be to buy this cd immediately and go see these guys locally while you still can. www.thesixtysix.com
