Grover Kemble (above) and Jonathn Ashe are two of the most accomplished musician-friends the Garden State has produced. Both got their start in the 60’s when Ashe played electric bass and toured extensively with Tommy James and the Shondells while Kemble was cutting records with his group Za Zu Zaz.
They are both superb guitarists and singers, yet employ entirely different vocal skills. Kemble comes from the school of Ray Charles and croons and scats like a monster, while Ashe is a compellingly versatile vocalist in the genre of greats like Jim Croce and Van Morrison. Together they make beautiful music, harmonizing, riffing and weaving their own brand of magic into every tune.
Look to be entertained as these two local giants also have a sense of humor nearly equal to their uniquely appealing talents.

Once again it’s holiday party time again, and what better way to have a party than with Marty Eigen’s Beacon Hill Jazz Band. The band will return to perform what has become a holiday tradition at the Watchung Arts Center. This is the eighth year that the band will play for us on the holiday, to what has also become a tradition of sellout crowds. Marty Eigen will be leading the festivities with all the excitement you have begun to expect from this world-class group. As usual, there will be some exciting surprises in store— and, of course, the energetic Meet-the-Musicians Party at the end.
The band members for this performance will be: Marty Eigen — tenor sax, flute, clarinet & leader; Paul Nagle — trumpet; Chris Cottier — baritone sax & clarinet; Bill Ash — trombone; Fred Fischer — piano & vocalist; Bob Funesti — bass; Flip Peters — guitar & vocalist; Mike Walter — drums; and Nancy Nelson — vocalist.
