New Concert Dates Added For Berkeley Summer Series

BERKELEY, NJ — After weather postponed the July 19 show in Berkeley's summer concert series, Mayor Carmen Amato has announced two new show dates for August.

“I am pleased to announce that Jukebox Legends, featuring Berkeley’s own Joe Leo, will be performing on August 16th,” Amato said. “They play all the great songs of the fifties, sixties and more. In addition, Captain Jack, one of the area’s premier Billy Joel tribute bands will also perform.”

The mayor is asking attendees to bring non-perishable food donations to the Aug. 16 show. They will be donated to local food pantries, he said.

Another free show has been added to the schedule, set for Aug. 30.

“Julian & Dominque will be the opening act. They are a dynamic duo – Julian is a man with a thousand voices and Dominque sings a wide variety of different music. They will be followed by Beginnings, a Chicago tribute band. The look and sound of Beginnings will make you feel like you are attending a Chicago concert,” Amato said.

For this show, Amato asks that attendees bring donations of school supplies. Read more: Annual School Supply Drive Underway In Berkeley

“Our annual school supply drive helps support children in need in our area. Please help us by bringing a donation – notebooks, markers, pens, pencils, etc.,” Amato said.

Both shows are in addition to the “Night Out Against Crime” on Aug. 23. All concerts are free and take place in Veteran’s Park in Bayville.

Bring a chair and enjoy these great nights of entertainment.

Refreshments are provided by local non-profit groups and organizations that use these concerts as their fundraisers.

“We are hoping for great weather, great music, and a great collection of food and school supplies to help our residents and families. We look forward to seeing you at the shows!” Amato said.
