The Longport Historical Society is sponsoring a new summer event for all to enjoy.

Members of the String Band Division of the Mummers will perform at 7 pm on Aug. 3rd behind Borough Hall located at 2305 Atlantic Ave.

The event is free and all are invited to come welcome the Mummers to Longport. Refreshments will be available starting at 6 pm.

There are some artists who become the personification of their genre. They represent everything good about that type of music to such an extent that most other acts simply sound derivative. When it comes to rockabilly, it’s undoubtedly Stray Cats who define the sound.

Formed in 1979 while the rest of the world was lost in an ocean of synthesisers, Brian Setzer, Lee Rocker and Slim Jim Phantom perfected the rockabilly formula. Over the years they recorded countless classics but, quite simply, if you haven’t seen them live you’ll never know what truly gifted musicians they are. In a sold out Brixton Academy, the Stray Cats sound as fresh now as they ever did. Setzer’s guitar sizzles as he picks out flawless licks and howls to the roof with a passion and rawness that belies his age. The rhythm sections seamlessly slips between the effortless cool ‘Stray Cat Strut’ and the psychobilly aggression of ‘Rumble in Brighton’. (With an obligatory lyric change to ‘Rumble in Brixton’ on the last chorus) The band blast through old classics like ‘Gene & Eddy’ and ‘Ubangi Stomp’ with a swagger and energy reminiscent of glory days of rock n’ roll. The slower numbers such as ‘Summer Nights’ give a chance for Setzer to show off how rich his voice has become with age as 4000 leather jacketed fans sway along.

The event gives hundreds of guests a rare opportunity to explore eight luxurious Downbeach homes. With state-of-the-art gourmet kitchens, custom woodworking, modern décor, custom art pieces and breathtaking views, each home featured on the JFS House Tour is absolutely spectacular.

This year’s tour will once again include a complimentary lunch for guests. The tour also features a raffle offering fabulous prizes:

• 4 Disney Park Hopper tickets
• Overnight stay, $100 dining credit at Golden Nugget AC
• 4-month membership to Jewish Community Center
• $200 Downbeach Express pass
