Albert Music Hall, 131 Wells Mills Rd, Waretown, NJ, 08758

On May 16, we travel back in time to the birth of rock ‘n’ roll. Rock Around the Pines brings the classic sounds of the 1950s and early ’60s to the Hall, with a lively lineup celebrating the music that filled diners, dance halls, and jukeboxes across America. It’s a night of familiar favorites, toe-tappin’ rhythms, and a little bit of that vintage rockabilly spirit right here in Waretown. We encourage you to get in the spirit by dressing the part! So slick back your hair, slip on those blue suede shoes, pop on your poodle skirt, and get ready to hand jive your way through a fun night of rockabilly, Elvis, and more.
​​​​The show starts at 6:30pm, with doors opening at 5:30pm. *** As an extra treat, enjoy the harmonies of barbershop quartet Could Be Good, who will sing you into the Hall starting at 6:00pm. ***&nbsp;

​The night features five bands, each with a 30 minute set full of 50s and early 60s classics:
