“Concert stages were quiet, theaters were empty, nightclubs were closed. But that didn't stop the creative spirt in New Jersey.
Creative types just found new ways to do it and their fans found new ways to enjoy. By doing so, the bonds of community among artists and fans were made even stronger.
Jersey musicians like Williams Honor, Jarod Clemons, Emily Grove and Bobby Mahoney went online with weekly livestreams, the Ocean Avenue Stompers brought the music outside into the streets, and venues like the Brighton Bar in Long Branch, the Langosta Lounge and Tim McLoone's Supper Club in Asbury Park, and Chubby Pickle in Highlands brought the music inside once the state allowed socially distanced shows starting in September.”
