More about Sea Hear Now Festival

The Sea Hear Now festival, which was first held in 2018, is produced by Danny Clinch, Tim Donnelly, HM Wollman, and Tim Sweetwood.

The festival collaborates with the New Jersey chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, a grassroots organization dedicated to protecting and preserving the world's oceans, waves, and beaches, focusing on coastal and marine ecosystems, surf access, and water quality.

The first festival was a huge success, with the 2018 opening line-up consisting of big names such as heartland-rock singer Bruce Springsteen, new wave rock band Blondie, as well as Incubus and singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile.

The 2018 edition was followed by a similarly star-studded 2019 edition, featuring alternative folk sensations The Lumineers, singer-songwriter, and guitarist Joan Jett, Dave Matthews Band, as well as singer-songwriter and punk-influenced folk artist Cat Power.

While the festival was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, it returned in 2021. The 2021 edition, aside from a line-up that included Pattie Smith, and Pearl Jam, also had an art exhibition featuring artworks by Billy Morrison, Pattie Smith, Trevor Terndrup, Scott Avet, and others.

The 2022 edition of Sea Hear Now featured a musical line-up that included Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks, garage-rock band Cage and The Elephant, punk rock sensation Green Day, as well as Grammy Award-winning indie-rock band Wet Leg.

Sea Hear Now 2022 also featured a surfing competition called North Beach Rumble, featuring surfers such as Cory Lopez, Sam Hammer, Cassidy McClain, and Eric Geiselman.
