(WARETOWN, NJ) -- This year, Albert Music Hall is proudly celebrating its 50th Anniversary! The very first "Sounds of the Jersey Pines" show was held in November of 1974, and the weekly gathering of local musicians and music enthusiasts has continued ever since. Every Saturday night, visitors come to the Hall to enjoy a mix of Bluegrass, Country, Folk, Old Timey, Americana and Pinelands music, or to jam in Pickin' Shed.
On August 17, 2024, Albert Music Hall is holding a special extended show to celebrate this milestone. The doors will open at 5:00pm. At 5:45pm there will be opening remarks about the Hall's history. At 6:00pm, the music will start and continue until 10:00pm.
Tickets will be $6 for adults and $1 for kids under 12 (cash only). The snack booth will have kielbasa & kraut, cheeseburgers, and Thumann's hot dogs as well as hot and cold drinks and a wide selection of cakes, cookies, and pies. There will be a 50/50 drawing. The gift booth is stocked with 50th Anniversary mugs, hats, glasses, t-shirts and sweatshirts as well as a variety of CDs, cowboy hats, and interesting gifts. Throughout this year, the Hall is selling tickets for the 50th Anniversary raffle in the foyer to be drawn in December. The first prize is a Gibson Earl Scruggs Banjo with a $4,500 value. As always, the Pickin' Shed will be open throughout the show and is now air conditioned. Musicians can bring an instrument and jam.
Albert Music Hall is located at 131 Wells Mills Road in Waretown, New Jersey.
