'One-Man Rat Pack' Set To Open Ocean City Pops' 2026 Summer Season

OCEAN CITY, NJ —Ocean City will open the Ocean City Pops' 2026 summer season with a performance by vocalist and entertainer Brandon Tomasello on Sunday, June 28, at the Ocean City Music Pier, according to a news release.

Tomasello will bring his "One-Man Rat Pack" concert to the 7:30 p.m. show at 825 Boardwalk, with tickets listed at $27 and $32 at ShowPass.com.

According to the O.C. Pops' website, the concert will offer audiences a trip through the Great American Songbook and feature "class, comedy and flair." The performance is billed as a recreation of the Sinatra era, with Tomasello backed by the Ocean City Pops as he performs music associated with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.

The show will include hits such as Sinatra's "Fly Me To The Moon," Martin's "Everybody Loves Somebody" and Davis' "The Candy Man," according to the announcement. Several songs will be performed in their original arrangements, giving concertgoers the chance to hear the music with a full orchestra. Tomasello secured the arrangements for the tribute show, and local musician and band leader Ed Vezinho, of Egg Harbor Township, arranged some tunes for the performance.

"I am so excited to be back performing with Conductor Vince Lee and the Ocean City Pops–and even more ecstatic to help them kick off their summer season," said Tomasello. "To to perform and share these songs, most in their original arrangements, with this orchestra is something that I know audiences will cherish. And I can’t wait to debut Ed Vezinho’s arrangements which are sure to knock some socks off.”

The concert is set for the historic Ocean City Music Pier and marks the official launch of the Pops' 2026 summer season. The announcement describes the evening as a mix of classic hits, storytelling and vintage Vegas-style showmanship.
