Two big things happened in Eatontown on the evening of Friday, May 14.
Jersey Shore guitar legend Bobby Bandiera made his return to the concert stage after a year away due to the pandemic, and he returned at the new Concerts on the Green concert series at Suneagles Golf Club in Eatontown.
Concerts on the Green, presented by the Count Basie Center for the Arts, is a socially distanced pop-up venue that accommodates 500 seated fans under a tent near the course’s Gibbs Hall. There’s a lot of like. There isn’t a bad view of the stage, the sound is fine and the food, by Chef Joe D’Esposito of Tavern 19, is tasty.
