Asbury Park Dinner Table

Thank you, Wegmans, for your donation of hams to feed our brothers and sisters in need! It is important to remember that food insecurity is a reality all year long for many of our neighbors. Deacon Oates and Vernon Carpenter from Second Baptist Church Asbury Park, New Jersey were happy to accept this donation today!

Thank you so much 🎶🎶♥️

Our sincere thanks to all who contributed to $1,500 in donations to the Asbury Park African-American Music Project and Asbury Park Dinner Table to help them make a difference in our community. They were both fantastic partners promoting the WAWY event.

Thanks to our sponsors Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Playa Bowls, Big Man’s Brew, Last Wave Brewing, MOGO Korean Fusion Tacos, Asbury Sunset and WeStar Productions. Please show your love for these sponsors throughout the year.

Thank you Last Wave for WHAT A WONDERFUL BEER. It was super tasty, super fun and certainly helped with promotion of the event.

Thanks to all 20 performers, plus 5 other acts who had to drop out for health precautions or the date change. You delivered a spectacular show with incredibly high energy that completely engaged the audience for 11 hours over two nights.

Thanks to the incredible audience who bought tickets and merch that made the donation possible. Between the dancing, sing-alongs, and undying attention, you all killed it! FYI - shirts still available at $15.

Thanks to the Wonder Bar and their entire crew for great audio plus Matt Bodner’s spectacular light show. ! It was great to have WAWY back at its true “home.”

Thanks to Joey Henderson and Kyle Brendle for creating this event 5 years ago. Your vision for a year-end event that celebrated the live music community was right on target.

Thanks to Asbury Park Vibes for the photography team and Jeff Crespi for dropping in as well. You’ve given the show a second life on social media with plenty of great shots

Thanks to video team from Telegraph Hill Records, All Love Production, First Hour Production and WeStar Production who spend the entire show with a video camera in their hands.

Thanks to Alexandra Lobo for the What A Wonderful Year logo and design. Thanks to Dillon, Cate, Carina, Melissa and the rest of the incredible team at Telegraph Hill Records for their hard work on booking, promotion, PR, administration, and event production.

We'll be back for WAWY 2022 the last week in December.
