SOMERS POINT - The city will hold its 2024 AtlantiCare Concerts on the Beach series this June with an impressive lineup that promises to deliver unforgettable musical experiences against the backdrop of Somers Point’s beautiful bayshore. It is the concert series' 31st year and last year was named USA Today's 2023 Best Outdoor Concert Series in America.
All concerts start at 7 p.m. on the beach at New Jersey and Bay avenues. The public is invited to bring their beach chairs and blankets. In addition to the great live music, concert goers will enjoy views of the sunset reflecting off the glimmering bay with the Ocean City skyline as the backdrop.
The diverse lineup of performers includes international recording artists, Grammy Award winners, members of the Rock ‘n’ Roll and International Blues Halls of Fame, as well as top regional acts performing a variety of musical genres from country, classic and jam rock, blues, soul, jazz, and swing.
The series kicks off with a bang June 14 with Bywater Call, an emerging Americana/Canadian roots rock and jam band known for their big southern soul sound.
The Billy Walton Band
Continuing the momentum on June 21 is The Billy Walton Band, featuring Destinee Monroe, with dynamic blend of rock, Motown, funk, disco, soul, and blues.
"The AtlantiCare Concerts on the Beach Series is not just about music; it's about creating unforgettable experiences that bring our community together in celebration," Mayor Dennis Tapp said.
AtlantiCare CEO Michael Charleton noted the cultural significance of the event.
"This series is a testament to the vibrant culture and diverse talent that the Jersey Shore has to offer, and AtlantiCare is proud to be a part of it."
