COMING ATTRACTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: WonderBar Asbury Park USA Friday June 14: Dana Fuchs Band, Gedeon Luke & the People, Christine Martucci. “A Rocket Launch” By Calvin Schwartz June 10, 2013
Often to motivate myself, I think of an old Saturn rocket ship sitting on the launching pad at Cape Canaveral (Cape Kennedy) in Florida. Steam is rising from the hookups of fueling and life support. The countdown begins. Countdown stops. Then it begins again. There’s a small window when they must launch the manned mission or else scrap the launch. Then the launch. With limited rocketry background, I do know the most amount of energy is needed to just lift the rocket those first few feet off the launch pad (sofa). Then it gathers speed. Then the rocket disappears from visual and audio range. Then the exhaust trail in the upper atmosphere disappears.
So why do I talk about rockets and energy and visible trails in the atmosphere introducing a very special concert on Friday June 14th at the WonderBar? I suppose I’m drifting into the world of music metaphors. A tremendous amount of energy is going to be released this Friday at the WonderBar with three ‘rockets of musical energy’ not to be missed. I mean it. Metaphors aside, it’s going to be one amazing night. Dana Fuchs Band, Gedeon Luke & the People and an acoustic performance by Christine Martucci; All three will be there with the ocean across the street and each possessing more musical energy and dynamism then you can imagine. Here’s the thing. If you miss this Friday night, the vapor of energy expenditure in the upper atmosphere will be gone and you would’ve passed on one incredible night. Hopefully, I’ve expended enough verbosity here to lift you off your launch pad(sofa).

“Like an old school Tent Revival this will be a funky, sweaty, insane night of hand clapping, foot stomping and body shaking music when each of these amazing talents takes the stage and spreads the gospel of Rock & Roll.” Sammy Boyd Productions
Dana Fuchs Band: Star of Sony Pictures ‘Across the Universe’ From her role as “Sadie” in the blockbuster hit “Across the Universe”, to the lead off-Broadway in “Love, Janis” and now her new album “Bliss Avenue”, Dana is bringing her soul rock sound to Asbury Park. Imagine a sultry, more emotive Janis Joplin backed by a higher-energy version of the late-’60s Rolling Stones…Rock & Roll doesn’t get any better than Dana Fuchs.
Dana Fuchs – vocals Jon Diamond – guitar, Jack Daley – bass, Rich Monica – drums, Pete Levin – keys
Gedeon Luke & the People: American Idol Semi-Finalist
“At just 23, his music possesses a maturity that belies his age. Boundless in its energy and message of peace, love and hope it is music that only an ‘old soul’ with an untempered spirit could create with such captivating brilliance.” Bill Hurley
Christine Martucci: “Christine Martucci is renowned for her soulful tenacity, kind-hearted interaction and emotional songwriting, pulling heart strings and opening minds all across the country. Raised in a musical family, Christine has music in her soul. She has her own grass-roots following dubbing themselves the “Tucci Train”. Martucci’s bunch literally made it possible for her to outdraw headlining national acts by showing up in droves to cheer her on and support her newest projects.”
