Asbury Park, home of the legendary Stone Pony, is where iconic New Jersey rockers like Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, and Southside Johnny first honed their craft. But what happens when master musicians from Berklee College of Music join forces on this hallowed ground? Fans of Dogs In A Pile know exactly what happens—pure musical magic.

Dopapod—the word has no defined meaning, but if it did, it might read something like: improvisational jazz, energetic funk, progressive rock with intellectual lyrics. The first time I heard Dopapod was in a muddy field in Illinois, and suddenly time stopped. The band has that effect on people; their music transcends the physical and takes us into a metaphysical realm where thoughts dominate our being. Hailing from the music-juggernaut city of Boston, this four-piece jam band refuses to be categorized or underestimated.

Tonight, Bell’s Brewery is hosting Earth Radio and Dopapod in its backroom. Much more than a simple backroom, this 500-plus capacity venue rivals similar spaces found in larger cities. The stage has ample room, and fans have everything they need to kick back and enjoy a night of amazing music—which is exactly what’s in store for us tonight.
