A big thanks goes out to everyone who helped make the 2nd annual Seaside Music Festival a great success! Check out what performing bands had to say about this year's event.

"The Seaside Music Festival was a huge success from both an entrepreneurial and an artistic perspective. I was so glad to be involved! It was enormously gratifying to watch tons of people who don't usually frequent original live music venues get turned on to new music. Talk about a positive cultural impact! This is a great annual event that benefits the regional economy and contributes significantly to the social good. What more could you ask for? Bravo Seaside Music Festival.."- Colie Brice, AERIA RECORDS

"The Seaside Music Festival was a great experience. Communication was solid, the venue was great and the sound was phenomenal. Hopefully, next year I'll be back with my full band."- Evan Toth, Paterson, NJ

"I would like to thank you for inviting me to play the Seaside Music Fest! I played at a beautiful venue called Luna Rosa! The staff there was very nice and [had] a great soundguy...The following evening I went to see a few of my friends play over at Klees... The sound was great and the artists who were booked to play are some of the best on the Jersey Shore."- Sheli Aarden, Brick NJ
