The Saint and The Stone Pony have once again teamed up to host the Asbury Park Music Awards on Saturday, Nov. 14 at the Stone Pony. It’s the 17th year in a row they’ve celebrated the Shore scene and it’s an important little community that gets together once a year to recognize the best of the Asbury scene and beyond. As the ballot and lineup does change a little before the show, we won’t post it here, but here’s a link over to this year’s nominees and lineup over at the Saint’s website. Doors are at 6 p.m., tickets are $20 to the all ages event.
Joe Harvard is again hosting; but as far as I know, there’s no accompanying opening video this year yet. Come on! I need some spicy video for this year’s show!
