SUMMARY:Outcrops in Bradley Beach Summer Jazz Series
DESCRIPTION:The Outcrops were named “NJ Band of the Year” (‘The Aquarian\, 2020) for “three reasons: a work ethic that makes them one of the Dirty Jerz’s hardest-working bands\, guitar-playing that fuses the sounds of Duane Allman and Jerry Garcia\, and a refreshing fusion of roots\, soul\, blues\, funk\, and psychedelic rock that sounds wholly new while comfortably familiar.” They have dug their roots into the music of rock’n’roll\, blues\, jazz\, funk\, folk\, and soul legends\, choosing B-side tunes to put their own spin on. Within their show\, they may pay homage to bands such as the Grateful Dead & the Band\, or artists such as BB King & Aretha Franklin. Their original music stems from that same soulful soil\, ranging from gritty blues to upbeat Americana.​​ \n\n\n\n​ \n\n\n\nThe Outcrops’ journey has been marked by milestones\, such as sharing the stage with acts like The Outlaws\, Three Dog Night\, Alexis P. Suter\, Kat Wright\, and King Solomon Hicks\, to gracing the lineups of festivals such as Rock\, Ribs\, & Ridges\, the Anglesea Blues Festival\, Musikfest\, and Meeting of the Minds. Their performance earned them 1st place in the 2nd Annual SOPAC Blues Challenge back in 2017 and 1st place in the North Jersey Blues Challenge (2025)\, sending them to Memphis in 2026.

SUMMARY:Kate Curran in Bradley Beach Summer Jazz Series
DESCRIPTION:Kate Curran is a musically voracious vocalist and bandleader who regularly performs throughout the Tri state area as well as nationally with Louis Prima Jr and the Witnesses.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBorn in Brooklyn\, NY\, Kate’s home was constantly filled with music of all genres\, but an early love of the Great American Songbook and Jazz would be her strongest influence. The clarion call of voices like Sarah Vaughan\, Billie Holiday and Nancy Wilson served as the aspirational blueprint for what would become her own soulful interpretations of classic standards.  \n\n\n\nAfter graduating NYU Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in Musical Theater\, Kate balanced work in the theater with her own swing septet Lady Luck and the Suicide Kings which she lead for 6 years. After a chance opportunity lead to a 3 year sabbatical in Amsterdam; Kate returned home determined to focus solely on her work as a Jazz vocalist. Inspired by Sarah Vaughan’s “Swingin Easy” album she pared down her instrumentation and has been delighting NYC audiences with her effortlessly unique phrasing and mesmerizing vocal storytelling ever since.  \n\n\n\nIn addition to her work in NYC and on the road with Louis Prima Jr and the Witnesses Kate is extremely excited to be recording her first album later this year!

SUMMARY:Mt Zion AME Millburn 1st Sunday presents  Singer Poet Wilma Ann
DESCRIPTION:Register on Eventbrite\n\n\nDr. Wilma Ann – Singer\, Author and Poet \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWilma Ann is a singer\, poet\, author and worship artist whose ministry lives where sacred song meets the spoken word. A native of St. Thomas\, U.S. Virgin Islands\, she first stood up to sing in church at eleven years old — and that sanctuary calling has shaped every stage she has stepped onto since. She studied vocal music at New York City’s “Fame” High School of the Arts and at Cornell University\, where she directed the gospel choir and founded the all-female gospel ensemble Baraka Kwa Wimbo\, learning early that a voice raised in praise can gather a whole community together. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom those roots she has sung at Carnegie Hall with the New York Choral Society\, headlined the Global Leadership Summit\, appeared on The Voice in Spain\, and toured internationally as a soloist and jazz vocalist. But whether the room is a concert hall or a church fellowship space\, her purpose is the same: to worship\, to testify\, and to help others lift their own voices.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Wilma Ann Anderson is also the author of the Amazon national and international bestseller Find Your Voice and Use It: A Guide to Moving from Fear to Freedom Anywhere Your Voice Needs to Be Heard. She carries that message — find your voice\, and use it for good — into every gathering she serves. \n\n\n\nAs a Poet\, Wilma Ann writes from the pulse of experience — The experience is one of worship\, word\, and the joy of a life still being beautifully woven together. Her collection “Tapestry” gathers verses that runs from bridges and bloodlines to the sacred and profane\, from war cries and rebellions to dreamscapes and departures\, all woven around a single tender dedication: to those of us who are joyfully being woven into a beautiful tapestry. \n\n\n\nMt Zion AME Millburn NJ\n\n\n\nRev.
