Thu, June 28, 7pm: Civic Minded Fools, & Witzend

Witzend is the product of many years of seasoning. A pinch of rock, a little bit of country, some funk, some soul and voila! Playing all the hits from the 70's, 80's, 90's and today!




Civic Minded Fools are local boys who made good by doing good. High energy cover songs from the 1960s onward.


Thu, July 12, 7pm: The Chain Gang, & The Speekers

The Chain Gang is a Johnny Cash tribute band featuring the best of Johnny Cash along with songs you've never heard before! With other great music from Sun Records!

The Speekers are local teens who play high energy rock.



Thu, July 26, 7pm: Charlie Gracie, & Su Z

Charlie Gracie, returns to Disston Rec for another night of old time rock and some old time Wildwood club tunes. Charlie Gracie is one of a diminishing number of rock n roll innovators, who continues to actively perform. In 1957, Charlie's "Butterfly" topped the American and British music charts, selling over 3 million copies. His other late 50's big sellers include: "Fabulous", "Ninety-Nine Ways", "Wanderin Eyes", "I Love You So MuchIt Hurts" and "Cool Baby."

Charlie is a living legend who inspired The Beatles and has been inducted into Great Britain's Rock n Roll Hall of Fame; we are very honored to have him return for another year.


With a powerful voice well beyond her years, Su Z brings the vocal aesthetic of the big R&B and pop voices that dominated the charts from the 60's through today..
