“Rock n Roll Summer Cocktail Party”
Featuring Bobby Bandiera’s “Rock n Soul Revue”
at the Axelrod Performing Arts Center

Come celebrate summer, at the Axelrod Performing Arts Center’s first annual "Rock n Roll Summer Cocktail Party” featuring a special performance by the Bobby Bandiera Band.  The event will be held on July 1st at the Axelrod Performing Arts Center, 100 Grant Avenue, Deal Park.

Things will get underway at 6:30 pm with a special cocktail reception sponsored by Stingers and 656 Ocean in the Axelrod Theater's art gallery. Guests are invited to sip refreshing mint mojitos, sample delicious appetizers and win tickets to future shows at the Axelrod Theater.  Theater doors open at 8:00 pm for a special performance of Bobby Bandiera’s “Rock and Soul Revue”.  

Bandiera is a long time fixture of the Jersey Shore sound and his appearances with local legends Cats on a Smooth Surface date back to the early 1980s and clubs such as The Stone Pony, when Bruce Springsteen would jump onstage with them on Sunday nights. Bobby has played with such legends as Stevie Wonder, B.B. King, Eric Clapton and Keith Richards. Bobby regularly headlines in leading shore venues with his band, the Bob Bandiera Band, and accompanies Southside Johnny and Bon Jovi.

Tickets for the reception and performance are $40 per person and can be ordered by calling the Axelrod Box Office at 732-531-9100 ext. 142. Group Discounts are also available by calling 732-531-9100 ext. 155.
