The 2024 North to Shore Festival kicked off at the Wonder Bar in Asbury Park, NJ. This special edition of Happy Mondays featured four standouts of the local music scene: The Foes of Fern, The Hard Maybes, Renee Maskin, and Blush. It was a fun night of great music and an excellent way to start this year’s festivities.
Michael is an Asbury Park based photographer of what life puts in front of him. He snuck his camera into a concert for the first time in 2011 when he went to see Soundgarden on their reunion tour. Two of those shots ended up being published in Photofantasm Soundgarden: Nudedragons to King Animal, and he has been bringing his cameras to shows ever since. He relocated to Asbury in 2019 for its rich music and art scenes...and to save on tolls! He is a big supporter of the local music scene and has become well known amongst the bands for his photos. Michael is also a regular vendor at the Asbury Park Punk Rock Flea Market and can be found selling his prints at a variety of local markets.
