The music scene down at the Jersey Shore in Asbury Park, NJ has been having a big resurgence recently. There are many new clubs that have live entertainment in the section of town that is being rebuilt.
Two famous venues that I have personally played more than a few times are still there as well; The Stone Pony and The Saint.
There are some great folks doing a wonderful job with bringing awareness to the Asbury music scene which helps to get people down to check it all out. One guy doing his part and supporting the scene is Ken Shane. He writes for a site called Popdose.
Russo Music has also chosen Asbury Park for it’s new store location. You can check the store out at 639 Cookman Avenue. Scott Engel the manager is a great guy and has been working very hard on this project….he NEVER sleeps it seems…go Scott..!!
I am really pumped about being in the middle of all this great energy with my 300guitars Shop located just a few miles north in Long Branch as well as playing with my new band the Inside Drivers. I reckon we will see a lot of growth in Asbury Park over the next few years.

Testimonials:
David Nicholas - The 20watt amp is sounding fantastic! Delivered the goods at the gig and I'm finding cool tones all over the place with it. Love the cab w Emenince Tonkerlites too- perfect for my sounds! Makes the 12 string sound like a grand piano!
Peter Lacis - I had an audition for something recently that was all about Led Zeppelin I -- my custom Pennalizer BLEW THE MINDS of the guys I was playing with. They couldn't believe the sounds coming out of that amp. That album was never in my mind when I came up with the idea....so that's yet another testament to the amazing work that you do.
Scott Goldberg - I am very satisfied with the set-up, and the fast turn around. With the "lower" action it feels easier to play. I will definitely spread the word.
