Keith McCarthy has been a fixture of the NJ shore music scene for 20 years. By the age of 10, he was playing multiple instruments and writing rock, country, and blues-influenced songs of his own. As the millennium opened, he made his way as an aspiring singer/songwriter/guitar-slinger in salty Long Beach Island bars, before eventually gravitating north to Asbury Park. After dissolving the rock four-piece "Keith McCarthy and The Works", he settled into the shore coffeehouse scene. Joining the quintessential NJ rock group "Maybe Pete" in 2007 led to the introduction to his partner, wife, and band-mate of 15 years Lindsey (Miller) McCarthy. With Johnny Macko (of Maybe Pete) on drums and Andrew Clelland on bass, they formed the alt-country quartet "The Sunday Blues," releasing their album "City Folklore '' in 2012. Produced by Arlan Feiles, the album featured McCarthy's guitar, vocal, banjo, harmonica, and keyboard contributions, and included some of his best known songs ("The Overthrow", "Tinted Windows", "Love By Numbers").
The group performed as the opening act for renowned acts such as Leon Russell, Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams, and Shovels & Rope. McCarthy was recognized for his guitar prowess at the 2009 Asbury Park Music awards, followed by another award for all-around instrumental work in 2013. Although activity has slowed down for the band since the start of the COVID19 pandemic, Keith has kept busy writing and recording at home for future projects.
Keith currently resides in Neptune City, NJ with Lindsey, his daughter Dylan Magnolia, and his canine-daughter Zoe Hazel.

Geena writes original music that captures a philosophical perspective on sociopolitical issues, love, and her long, arduous and pioneering journey as a transgender woman, musician, physician and parent. She has been hailed as the first transgender woman to openly transition during the early stages of Asbury Park's revitalization. Together Geena and her fabulous band Dragster blend rock, prog, soul and a bit of techno to create their own highly original sonic signature in the Asbury Park musical landscape. Dragster currently consists of Faye Fadem on drums, Kevin Stryker on bass, John Kadian on keyboards and Paul Heany as the bandleader on lead guitar.

Asbury Park or shall we say Central Jersey based (yes, that is a place) duo, the dt’s (David Cacciatore & Tom Losito), defy being put aside, and revere the fact that they each play an array of different instruments from guitar, bass, drums, even piano. After first meeting at a local bar’s open mic, the duo performed together over the years, touring the US before establishing themselves as the dt’s in early 2020.
The duo was born out of an absolute itching to start fresh and began to collaborate, write, and record their own music at their own home studios. Snag any of their live performances and you’ll uncover them shifting harmoniously from rock, to power pop, to you name it. Their modern pop approach and wide array of vintage influences are key in their collective and individual songwriting skills. The duo is not afraid to experiment all while incorporating their love of harmonies.Their debut EP “You With Me” was released in early 2022 to local and regional acclaim along with the latest single “Refresh” in late 2022. The duo is readying for new material which will be released in 2023.

Nick Clemons, the son of the late, great Clarence Clemons, creates fresh, new original music with meaning and feeling. Plain spoken but deep lyrics that crash into the soul of experience we all have in common. The music is a blend of rock, blues, soul, psychedelic, hip hop, soul, and more. Unexpected. Catchy. To- tapping. Collisions and fusion of thought and sound.
