The BMW Band kicked off Long Beach Township’s Fire Pit Friday series with an energetic, family-friendly beach concert – the first of many this season. The crowd wrapped a full 360 degrees around the stage and buzzed in anticipation of a summer full of live music to come.

Jimmy Brogan, Destinee Monroe and Billy Walton were the center of attention on June 24, playing a mixture of upbeat ’70s covers and BMW originals complete with lyrics specific to Beach Haven.
