Your Guide To Sea.Hear.Now 2019

The inaugural Sea Hear Now was awesome, and I'm stoked to head back to the beach in Asbury Park for this weekend's festival. There are a bunch of great bands I'm really looking forward to seeing, and the atmosphere of a huge beach concert can't be beat.

If you'll be joining me, here's what you need to know:
