HOME BASE: LBI
STYLE: Acoustic covers of classic rock, yacht rock, reggae, Americana and jam bands. Expect anything from Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, and Tom Petty to Sublime, Jimmy Buffett or Zach Bryan.
LINEUP: Mike Dougherty, vocals and guitar.
FUN FACT: Dougherty has been running an open mic night in the off-season at Joe Pop’s for the past few years. “I really enjoyed hosting this and meeting some great local talent as well as those from out of town,” he said.
TWO’S TAKE: Dougherty is the perfect soundtrack for an LBI summer night at your favorite local bar.
