90.5 The Night's "Songwriters In The Park" Lineup Revealed!

by Sean Carolan

...and honestly, this lineup's a doozy!

All of the Songwriters In The Park shows are free (or nearly so if you factor in the parking in Red Bank, NJ and the gas to get you there, which ain't a lot...and the NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line will get you there from NYC and points north and south as well.)

Once you're in the City By The Navesink (that's Red Bank), head for Riverside Gardens Park on W. Front Street with your lawn chair in tow (I hear they'll be everywhere) on these Fridays at 7:00pm (weather permitting) and you're pretty much guaranteed a good time. Having the Navesink as a backdrop is just a bonus.

Here's the lineup...

July 13 - Headlining Act: The Mastersons (from Steve Earle's Band) with Opening Act: Diego Garcia

July 20 - Headlining Act: Mindy Smith with Opening Act: Emily Grove

July 27 - Headlining Act: Scars on 45 with Opening Act: The Dunwells

August 3 - Headlining Act: Jukebox The Ghost with Opening Act: Lightning Jar

August 10 - Headlining Act: Willie Nile with Opening Act: Bruce Tunkel

August 17 - Headlining Act: River City Extension with Opening Act: Accidental Seabirds

August 24 - Headlining Act: Red Wanting Blue with Opening Act: Rick Barry

August 31 - (rain date)

As an additional bonus for Altrok listeners, several Altrok 90.5 HD2-friendly acts will be appearing as well. Come on out, enjoy the show (and the evening) and then enjoy a stroll 'round Red Bank. (You can put your lawn chair back in your car - the restaurants and bars have their own seats 'round here.)

Please Look At Our Advertisers (Or The Website Gets It)
Congratulations, you've found the hidden text.
 
Welcome to Altrok.com, also available at AltrokRadio.com and AltrockRadio.com. Here's where the remaining listeners of several fine radio stations have retreated, regrouped, and built a replacement strong enough to stand on its own. It builds on the independent legacy of New Jersey's FM106.3, New York's WPIX and WLIR, Oklahoma's 105.3 The Spy, the pre-buyout mindset of KROQ, WBCN and WHFS and of every other alternative station that was destroyed at a moment's notice - not because they weren't making money, but because there was bigger money to be found elsewhere.
 
We've stood by as truly independent alternative rock radio died. Sure, something called "alternative" took its place, but we know for sure that anything that "tests well" with soccer moms just ain't alternative. (Even if some of us happen to be soccer moms.) So we've taken matters into our own hands.
 
This really is independent alternative rock radio, visible here at Altrok.com and audible at our web radio station. It has the classic music that fired our passions back in the day - or that we maybe only heard about from our elders - but it's mostly made of the new music that does precisely the same for us now. We're paying attention to scenes all over the world, watching the energy build, and waiting to see what it creates. Wherever it happens, we'll make sure you can hear about it here. We've been slowly building all this since 2001, and now that you've noticed us, we're glad you're here.
 
Of course, it's only here because you want it to be here, and it can only stay if you help it along - especially by checking out our advertisers (they support us) and by listening (the more that listen, the more visible we are.) Please use the "feedback" link above to let us know whether it works for you, and what you want it to be as the future unfolds. (And if you need help hearing it, let us know that, too.)
