In APV’s latest podcast, we connected with Jennie Wasserman (producer at NJPAC) and spoken word poet Myster-E (AKA Eric Shandroff) to chat all about North To Shore’s Asbury Park Showcase event. This special performance takes place at the Grand Arcade in historic Convention Hall on Friday, June 14th starting at 3:30pm. The show will feature local musicians and spoken word poets – all who were selected through a competitive application process by Asbury Park arts and culture leaders to represent the city in this free, public performance for the North to Shore Festival.
Jennie took us “behind the scenes” by talking all about her work within NJPAC and how she's using her experience and knowledge to assist with the North To Shore Festival. Eric fascinated us by sharing his unique background in the world of edutainment and the many ways he works to educate and entertain children. As you come to the end of our podcast you will be wowed by Myster-E's amazing performance of poetry and hip-hop in his original piece, “Sub.”

It was equal part inspiration and motivation during our latest podcast with Jersey Shore's spoken word poet and hip-hop artist, Chris Rockwell. Living by the motto "You have to be amazing!" is what drives this young artist to not only relentlessly perfect his crafts, but then take them one step further to make a difference in the world. He believes wholeheartedly that “attraction, not promotion” is what connects you to the people you need to know and then shows you the ways to be more impactful.
Whether it’s highlighting the poetry of writers in his publication Soup Can Magazine, organizing cultural events, writing & recording music, or going on tour with the Chris Rock Collective, it’s apparent that the words “take it easy” aren’t part of Chris’ vocabulary. In addition to touching upon all of that, Chris spoke at length about his upcoming event CANDEMONIUM for which he won a grant through the North To Shore Festival. It takes place on June 23 at 1pm at Sister Jean’s Kitchen in Atlantic City and will showcase southern New Jersey’s most talented spoken word artists and hip-hop stars! This event is also a chance to give back to the community. CANDEMONIUM will serve as a community food drive, collecting canned goods and food donations for Sister Jean’s Kitchen in Atlantic City. So, bring your generous spirit and make a difference!
Tune in to hear more about the talented Mr. Chris Rockwell and make sure to check out his many accomplishments!

Gregory, Steve and Mike from the band Meraki stopped by our studio recently for a super fun podcast and acoustic session. They began the evening with a stellar acoustic set of three songs that absolutely blew us away!
Following that we spoke at length about the difference between jam bands and bands that jam. We dove deep into the mechanics and nuances of their music; and they shared lots of great stories about their musical training, live shows, hobbies, and family. We also chatted about Greg’s company – Manifest Entertainment – that curates music events and experiences in Asbury. Tune in and enjoy this humorous podcast (these guys were pros at making it entertaining). And just like an iconic jam band ... we could’ve gone on and on chatting with these very likeable musicians!

Half of Jet Ransom came by to play a few songs and chat. With Drew P - vocals / guitar, Teddy - vocals / guitar, Jonny - bass, and Jon - drums, they seem like they have a real knowledge of the bands that came before them and are looking to forge their own unique path. Listening to them, you might hear a little 60's, a little 70's, and well beyond.
They are thematic, melodic, and truly enjoyable.
From the town of Wall, NJ - we present Jet Ransom!

The musicality, technical acumen, and pure vocal brilliance of the Bryan Hansen Band is undeniable. And we were thrilled that they brought their eclectic blend of alternative-rock/soul/blues and funky goodness to the AP Vibes studio for an unforgettable podcast and acoustic session.
Bryan Hansen and his bandmate Will Blakey epitomize the essence of synergy in their musical partnership. Their seamless collaboration, built on mutual respect and shared passion, creates an electrifying energy in their recordings and on stage. With Bryan's soulful vocals and masterful guitar skills complemented by Will's rhythmic finesse, the duo crafts a sound that transcends genres.
During our podcast, Bryan and Will spoke at length about the band's growth and progression over the years, as well as touching upon their influences and songwriting techniques. Bryan treated us to an acoustic version of the band's 2023 hit, "Death of a Yes Man" and we took a deep dive into their 2024 recently-released, scorching single, "Poison."
Tune in today and listen to this thoroughly engaging conversation with Bryan and Will of the Bryan Hansen Band! And trust us ... you're gonna want to add "Poison" to your playlist!
