Tuesdays sizzle this June with Celebrating the International Sounds of Soccer at Tuesdays at the Turf, presented by the Asbury Park African-American Music Project. The series kicks off with a performance by Walter Parks. Parks is the kind of performer who defies easy description. In a single set, he might move from a Delta blues growl to an Appalachian reel, from a field holler to a shard of opera to swamp jazz. He’s a musician fluent in the full sweep of American roots music, and hearing him live is an unforgettable, soul-shaking experience.
In the spirit of sport, the series also celebrates the international sounds of soccer, with AP-AMP’s house DJ spinning a global soundtrack that weaves together music and community.
Celebrating the International Sounds of Soccer at Tuesdays at the Turf is part of a free weekly live music series featuring performances by artists with ties to the Springwood Ave music community. The series is presented by the Asbury Park African-American Music Project (AP-AMP), an organization committed to documenting and honoring the musicians and history of Springwood Avenue and to restoring the Turf Club as a living cultural landmark. Come celebrate and support the music and musicians that helped put Asbury Park on the map.
