Sunshine In Asbury Park 1970 T-Shirt

The Sunshine In (yes, one 'n' – it's an Aquarian thing) opened its doors as a concert venue in the summer of 1970 in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Housed in an old concrete block building with a high wooden, open rafter type ceiling that used to be a municipal bus garage, the Sunshine was bare bones to say the least. The building stood on Kingsley Street, and despite having no bar, they did alright as a strict music venue as the block had bars a plenty, and concert goers patronized them between sets. All told, the Sunshine In hosted countless acts between 1970 and 1974, many of them bands and singers that remain well known today. The venue had a unique sound that can still be experienced through live recordings from various concerts.
