Pairing with their Slumberland Records label-mates Jeanines in certain cities, Asbury Park band Lightheaded has hit the open road for what they’re calling the “Slumbertour.”

To kick off its 2024 season, the Jersey Shore Arts Center in Ocean Grove will host ‘Kabaret Kaput’ April 5, 6 and 7 as presented by the Asbury Park Theater Company. Directed by the eccentric and eclectic soul/pop singer-songwriter-bandleader Remember Jones (Anthony D’Amato, also from Asbury Park), it stars Ellen Foley and Robert I. Rubinsky. He was on Broadway in ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ and ‘Hair.’

With no apology to Rod Stewart, Asbury Park kingpin Marc Ribler (guitar/vocals) has released “Every Picture Tells A Horror Story,” the new single from his super-trio Story Road with drummer Charley Drayton (Bob Dylan/Keith Richards) and bassist Jack Daley (Lenny Kravitz/Spin Doctors). Ribler and Daley play together in Little Steven and The Disciples of Soul, for which Ribler is also the Musical Director.
