Afro Dominocano -  5:45 pm

Afro Dominicano is a Latin Fusion band which centers its music into what we call Afro Caribbean soul. We blend traditional folkloric roots music from the Dominican Republic with Afro-beats, reggae, calypso, samba, Funk, Punk rock and other Caribbean rhythms. We played mostly original songs written and arranged by the Band and a few cover songs renditions to the music we grew up listening to as Dominican’s living in the U.S.A. Our band is composed of Vocalists, Accordion guitar, bass, drums, Conga, Guira, and Tambora.

Ed Palermo Big Band - 4:15 pm

Ed Palermo is a New York-based arranger and alto saxophonist currently living in West Orange, NJ. The Ed Palermo Big Band has been together since 1980 and has been playing and honing the music of Frank Zappa (among other composers) for over 30 years, mainly in monthly performances at the Iridium nightclub in New York City and bimonthly concerts at The Falcon in Marlboro, NY.

Ed was recently listed as one of the top 40 “intriguing musicians to watch out for” by the online magazine, The Daily Beast and a recent album, “The Great Un-American Songbook”, was listed as one of the best albums of 2017 in Downbeat Magazine.

​His current releases, “The Adventures of Zodd Zundgren-the Music of Frank Zappa and Todd Rundgren”, “A Lousy Day In Harlem” and “I’ve Got News For You-the Music of Edgar Winter” all garnered rave reviews. Ed Palermo arranged music for one of James Brown’s final concerts at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. With the Ed Palermo Big Band, the key element is unpredictability. The audience never knows what to expect except pure unfiltered insanity and brilliance.

Verdict - 2:45 pm

The Verdict Reggae Soca Band has been rocking the house from venues as varied as the fabled Stone Pony in Asbury Park to the NFL Owners Meeting at the Super Bowl in Miami.

​Their polished energy has been fed from the wide ranging experiences of jamming with Chaka Khan and Stevie Wonder (what a surreal moment to have Johnny whispering the lyrics to Marley’s “Waiting in Vain” in Stevie’s ear since he didn’t know the second verse by heart), to performing “Stir it Up” and Chick Corea’s “Spain” with Prince Ali of Iran sitting in on drums.
Their passion is colored by opening for legends such as Sting and Madonna at the Gianni Versace memorial concert, to running for their lives as a near riot breaks out at a block party in Bensonhurst. The band’s undeniable talent brought this American based band the honor of performing at Carnival in Trinidad, appearances on network TV, and even a junket entertaining the legions of the Republican National Committee.

The story continues as does their unending quest to play the transcendent jam, create the perfect moment, and revel in the shared experience with you, the fans. Be there where the next chapter is written in the Verdict odyssey.
