It might not be easy to sit down when B.J. and the Band perform their high-energy mix of soul and R&B on Thursday, Oct. 6 at 6:30 p.m. at the Toms River branch of the Ocean County Library. The event marks the celebration of National Friends of the Library Week.

Led by the powerfully soulful vocals of B.J. Adams, the group maintains a busy tour schedule throughout the United States and Europe, along with television appearances and performances at clubs in and around New York City.
