The Snake Brothers Band

The Snake Brothers began performing their unique blend of music in the clubs along the New Jersey shore over 20 years ago.  In 1992 the band's direction shifted to the concert and festival performances they are noted for today. 

John Langston (banjo & guitars), Rob Ward (violin, mandolin & guitar), Mark Ternosky (harmonica & rhythm guitar), Ernie Trionfo (various guitars) and Eric Waltman (basses) have combined instrumental prowess with a love of vocal harmonies and an off-beat sense of humor to entertain 1,000s. 

Some of their credits include performing at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the New Jersey State Folk Festival, the Bridgeton, Cape May County, and Atlantic County Folk Festivals, and can be heard on several New Jersey Network productions, including being featured as the sound track for "A Sense Of Place". 

Musical influences include swing, folk, jazz, blues, pop, rock and a blend of a cappella styles.  You will never know what this band will play next with a little something for everybody.

Brown Street Chowder Society

The Brown Street Chowder Society is South Jersey's most diverse musical group.  Founded in 1972 by Lee Robbins, a local oysterman, and Jimmy Bennett, of Mauricetown, a music teacher, the band has been honored by the State of New Jersey as one of its outstanding volunteer organizations for over 600 appearances in area nursing homes and senior citizens centers. 

The band derived its name from Brown Street, in Port Norris, a small shellfish farming village along the Maurice River, where they first met for rehearsals.  The original members were fond of both banjos and chowder, so the name was a natural. 

Jimmy was the original "Leaderman" until his untimely death in 1993.  Today the band continues the original musical tradition with Bob Shannon, of Ocean City, as Master of Ceremonies and John Goodwin, of Millville, as Musical Director.  The musicians play banjos, mandolins, violins, guitars, bass, trombone, saxophone, accordion and harmonica. 

The musical format is a mixture of Ragtime, Swing and Country from the 20s, 30s, and 40s, including sing-a-longs, dance-a-longs and special selections by vocalists and instrumentalist.  During the summer months, the BSCS can be seen and heard in concert from Beach Haven to Cape May.

If you go

Beatlemania Again

Where: Michael Debbi Park in Buena Vista

When: 7 to 9 p.m. Aug. 4

Admission: $5 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under.

Seating: Available, but attendees should bring chairs or a blanket.



Flashy costumes and psychadelic lighting highlight the "Sgt. Pepper" portion of the "Beatlemania Again" concert.

With those words, Ed Sullivan introduced America to Beatlemania, a sensation that still is going strong after 40 years.

Current and future fans can catch "Beatlemania Again" from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday at Michael Debbi Park in Buena Vista.

The show covers three eras of Beatles music: The band's early years, the Sgt. Pepper era and later years.

The band dresses in costumes and plays instruments favored by the band during each period, according to "Beatlemania Again" manager Rich Morello of Stratford.

"Using the original equipment adds to the show," said Morello, who also plays the drums as Ringo Starr. "It really lets us get the sounds and the tones that they did."

The band is made up by Morello, Lucien Nocelli as John Lennon, Alan LeBoeuf as Paul McCartney and Tom Godsman as George Harrison. Each is an accomplished musician in his own right, but continues the Beatles tradition "for love of the music," according to Morello.

"It's pretty satisfying. It relates to all age groups," he said.

Morello's favorite portion of the show is the Sgt. Pepper material.

"It's very complex, musically," he said.

He said he especially enjoys performing songs like "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," and "Yellow Submarine," songs that The Beatles never played before an audience because they stopped touring in 1966.

Even if The Beatles did continue touring, Morello said they could not have performed the songs without pre-recorded background tracks.

"Then, they didn't have keyboards, but now, technology allows us to perform those songs," he said.

According to Morello, the biggest reactions come from the audience when the band strikes up "Twist and Shout," which they often use as an encore.

Buena Vista Mayor Chuck Chiarello said that he couldn't wait to see the performance spanning The Beatles' early years.

'"I Want to Hold Your Hand,' 'She Loves You,' those are my favorites. I'm mostly an early-Beatles fan," he said.

Chiarello is such a Beatles fanatic that he asked for the concert to be rescheduled around his trip to the Democratic National Convention.

The show originally was scheduled for July 28, but the mayor asked that it be moved to Wednesday.

'"Beatlemania (Again) is kind of a first," he said. "They had the date open and we could do it, so we switched things around a bit."

Admission to Beatlemania Again is $5 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under.

Some seating is available, but Chiarello suggested bringing chairs or a blanket, especially if residents hope to "really get up close."
