The sounds of harmonicas, upright bass, banjos, acoustic guitars and drums fill the air from all angles like some live acoustic surround sound system as one approaches Albert Music Hall for the weekly “Sounds of the Jersey Pines” concert held there since November 1974. Inside, seven acts will play through an endless catalog of classic country and traditional bluegrass with some occasional rockabilly and straight-up old-time music mixed in for good measure.
Heading inside, one is instantly transported to a different place and time – think Johnny Cash’s prime in the ’50s and ’60s – a time when fans could sit in silence and hang on every word, then erupt in raucous applause and appreciation at each song’s conclusion. The dimly lit hall keeps the spotlight on the ever-flowing music, and the crowd’s eyes remain staring and transfixed throughout the night as each act completes its half-hour set.
