Join us for Wolfe & Kron Books "NO ASSIGNED READING" Book Club! At the Asynchronous Book Club it's all about your BIR - that's "Books I've Read" - rather than assigning you homework to do just to be part of a community.

How does it work? You show up, write down 3-5 books you've read on a notecard, then Wolfe & Kron Books sorts everyone into groups based on where their BIRs overlap. You pass around your notecards and talk about the books you have in common, or maybe ones you hadn't heard of. The one danger is you might wind up with more books on your TBR - "To Be Read"

This event is FREE but we do ask you to support our host 3BR Distillery and always tip your bartender.

Come share your musical passions at Belmar Art Center's Weekly Open Mic and Music Workshop!

Every Tuesday, sign-ups start at 7pm.

Attention songwriters and musicians, a new open mic is town. We have been facilitating a Tuesday WEEKLY open mic and workshop, every TUESDAY for artists to hone and share their amazingness and receive feedback for over 3 years now!

If you wish to share an original of yours, awesome. If you want to play a cover, great. You may want to just share an idea with a band to see what it sounds like. That's great. This open mic is designed for collaborators and experimentalist alike, to try new things, and be open to different possibilities. Join our hosts multi-instrumentalist Andy Demos & singer, song writer, guitarist Alex Sanders every Tuesday Night.

Free for BAC Members ($35/year membership fee)

Join The Middletown Arts Center for their monthly music showcase featuring singer-songwriters Michael Askin, Jerry Smith, Debbie Gangemi and Tom Flynn.
ABOUT THE PERFORMERS
MICHAEL ASKIN is a singer/songwriter with the unique ability to combine everyday, slice of life images with larger philosophical themes. Once the “guitarist with mystique” in such Jersey rock bands as Divine Sign and My State of Attraction, Michael has forged ahead as a solo artist, releasing his third EP, Road by the River, in 2017. A travelogue of sorts, Road by the River evokes images of a world weary traveler, criss-crossing the country by car and train, searching for who knows what.
JERRY SMITH Singer-songwriter, multi-award winning author, retired social worker and English professor, Jerry loves being part of the local music scene where he enjoys playing oldies rock n’ roll & Motown songs along with his originals. He has a Facebook presence, and Jerry can also be found at his author website at www.ejerrysmith.com.
TOM FLYNN writes songs with meticulously crafted lyrics which blend Rock, Pop, and Folk. Tom’s music has been compared to Jackson Browne, REM, The Cars, Bob Dylan, and The Moody Blues. His single, Automatic People, has been played on over 60 college radio stations. Travels, Tom’s debut album was released last year and is currently licensed to several TV networks include Nascar, The Discovery Network, and The Oprah Winfrey Network.
