The Vibrotones are quickly establishing themselves as a powerhouse on the Jersey Rock scene.  Sporting a Classic Rock vibe with a modern edge, The group fancies themselves as a “ragtag band of rollicking rockers from Manasquan.”  It's a fitting description for this fun, motley crew of performers.  See them live and you'll know exactly what we mean.  A performance from The Vibrotones is full of high-powered energy, upbeat vibes, and on-stage antics.  But that's not all.  The vibrotones have the chops to back all of it up.  They are a talented team of musicians who will no doubt impress you with musical skill well beyond their charm.

While it comes as no surprise that this talented group of musicians can put on a great show, what may surprise you is just how little music they have officially released.  To date, they have only pumped out two official singles.  Though their actual catalog is deeper, it's an impressive feat to build a following on just two released tracks.  Turn those tunes up on Spotify!

When they rocked "Jersey Rock LIVE" at House Of Independents in June, The Vibrotones were greeted by an enthusiastic audience comprised of fellow artists, friends, and fans of original local rock.  Many in attendance showed up to specifically see them.  It's no surprise they have become a go-to for such legendary venues as Asbury Park's storied Stone Pony.  When they took the stage at "Jersey Rock LIVE" they were fresh off of rocking the Pony.  Now, just a few weeks later, they have announced they will be back in action there once again!

Don't miss The Vibrotones at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park on Sunday July 16.  Doors are at 2:00 pm for this matinee show that features a stacked lineup.  Joining The Vibrotones at The Stone Pony are Jack Flowers and The Petal Tones, Dan Corio Band, Isabella Pombrio, Your Best Nightmare, Carlotta Schmidtt, 3 Way Kiss, and Jason Pyne Band.  Tickets are $15 at the door and $13 in advance.  Message The Vibrotones on Instagram to score early admission!

"Basement Sessions" takes you behind the scenes of the Vibrotones' creative process.  It has a real garage band...or perhaps basement band feel to it.  Check it out!
