If you prefer your music unplugged and rootsy, stop by the downtown gazebo in Barnegat Township on Thursday nights to hear Custom Blend perform bluegrass and country tunes.

The group, which plays from 6 to 8 p.m., consists of a Barnegat couple, Paul and Maria Petrone, and Joe Zavacki of Brick Township. Paul plays guitar, banjo and fiddle; his wife and Zavacki play mandolin and guitar, respectively.
