The Stockton Performing Arts Center goes to the “beach” again this summer presenting eight concerts in the seventh annual Stockton Goes to the Beach Summer Concert Series at the Music Pier in Ocean City.
On Monday, August 25 at 8 p.m., Stockton Goes to the Beach continues the summer fun with Juno Award-winning rumba guitar flamenco master, Jesse Cook.
Tickets are priced at $20 and may be ordered online at ocnj.us or by calling 609-525-9300 or by going to the Ocean City Music Pier.
Cook was nominated as the Guitarist of the Year by the Canadian Smooth Jazz Committee. Having had the great pleasure of accepting the award in 2006, this marks Jesse’s third nomination in this category.
Cook’s live shows are notorious for drawing throngs of fans who sing and dance along during the entire perform-ance.
His CD, Frontiers comes on the heels of his enormously popular Montreal. For Frontiers, his sixth studio album, Cook pushed himself in entirely new ways. In search of inspiration, Cook moved to Seville, Spain with his wife, to “the source, the Mecca of flamenco music,” as he calls it, to absorb the influences.
The Stockton Performing Arts Center, the Jersey Shore’s Center for the Arts, is located on the campus of The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, on Jim Leeds Road in Pomona (Galloway Town-ship).
Just 12 miles west of Atlantic City, the Center is easily accessible from the Gar-den State Parkway and the Atlantic City Expressway.
This program is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts and by funds from the National Endowment for the Arts.
