The Camden County Board of Freeholders, whose longstanding reputation for presenting a bounty of great music throughout the county year-round is unmatched in the tri-state-area, is building a new concert tradition on Labor Day Weekend by presenting the CAMDEN BACKYARD BBQ, a FREE daylong festival on the Riverstage at Wiggins Waterfront Park in Camden that’s also designed to promote Health & Wellness. The event is Sunday, Sept. 6 from 2-10 p.m. , and stars ROBERT RANDOLPH & THE FAMILY BAND, New Orleans trio PORTER BATISTE STOLTZ and their Crescent City neighbors, BIG SAM’S FUNKY NATION, combining with local acts North 61 (South Jersey) and D-For (Philly) to cook up an eight-hour groove of funk, soul and spiritual jams with a BBQ family flavor.
Randolph, the young “Sacred Steel” master from New Jersey named one of Rolling Stone’s “Top 100 Guitarists of All Time,” is excited to be working with Freeholder Ian Leonard and Washington based promoters Cater America LLC to give music lovers right in his own “backyard” a memorable holiday weekend while helping them take away some positive information on Health & Wellness at the same time.
“Freeholder Leonard is a fan of mine and my music,” says Randolph. “So when he started talking to me about doing a free show for the people of Camden County, I just loved the idea. We had meetings with County officials, and they were real excited to make this a County project. For me, as a New Jersey resident, born and raised and with so much family and friends in South Jersey and Philly, this is a great opportunity for me to give something back to the state, and have a great show on a holiday weekend.”
