Seaside Music Festival Closing - May 21-22 In the early 1900s, it was difficult to come up with a plan to build on waterfront property and attract people to come. there. Now, generations later, the little town of Seaside Heights has received so much attention that it's a wonder they haven't transplanted the Brooklyn Bridge to Toms River just to make tourists more at home. comfortable to cross to the land of the sea, the sun and the sin. The allure of Seaside Heights has drawn legions of people from across the tri-state area to this family-oriented town for years. The clubs can accommodate thousands of dancers and around twenty people, but the promenade still dominates the real tourism with its stalls. , games and rides which have been essentials here since the turn of the century. The carousel itself has stood in the same location since 1932 and is the crown 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 in getting the community on board. them. The continuity between the city's businesses and teamwork was evident this weekend thanks to festival co-producer Mike Schwartz. Co-promoters Ryan Sharkey and Jose Anteo were also prepared with interns and section teams in force to get things going. This year's festival also had many loyal attendees, such as The Aztec Motel and Sandbar, The Beach Bar, El Camino and Jack and Bills on the Boardwalk, as well as several others. Without these pillars there would be no festival, it's a combination of geographic locations, logistics and a community that remains open to new things. Entertainment was varied, from daytime surf lessons to national artists like Glenn Tillbrook...... middle of paper ...... eat a big sound party. Horns glide over the top as the band waltzes to the halftime beat with pianos and electric guitars throughout the section. Phenomenal background also helps friends here. Just when you think that wave of Phil Spector sound is going to take over the song, it's gone, replaced by Liss and the guitar before they hit you once again, leaving you to hit the replay button more once. Scott Liss and the Sixty-Six are burgeoning secret weapons that could change the way people view New Jersey on a larger scale. There's no way this band won't go on to bigger and better things. “The Blackpool Letters” is a frightening calling card of production, talent and monstrous performances and I’ve seen them do that live too. My advice would be to buy this CD immediately and go see these guys locally while you still have the chance. www.thesixtysix.com
