On Friday, February 21st, Thomas Wesley Stern will be sharing the Asbury Park Yacht Club stage with Belmar’s ambassadors of “aggressive folk rock,” Ed Tang & The Chops. With the energy of The Gaslight Anthem and the authenticity of The Pogues, Ed Tang & The Chops have a rawness and spirit that could brighten up the darkest pub on a cold winter night. Their folky roots and do-it-yourself attitude blends perfectly with the Piney, indie-folk sound of Thomas Wesley Stern, winners of Asbury Music Awards in 2011, 2012, and 2013. Come on out, there will be no shortage of sing-along, cheers, and old fashioned fun. Doors 9. Music hits at 10. No cover.
