HT Giveaway: Chico’s House of Jazz – Hartswick or Osborne/Moore or Benevento

Forget Snooki, J-Woww & The Situation, all music fans need to know about the Jersey Shore is the name Chico. Jazz drummer Chico Rouse recently opened an intimate venue in Asbury Park that brings the feel of an NYC Jazz Club to the beach as a way to honor the legacy of his father, Jazz great Charlie Rouse. Chico’s House of Jazz has been winning raves and with a trifecta of upcoming shows featuring some of our favorite artists, we wanted to give our readers a chance to experience the venue for themselves.

On September 14, the Jennifer Hartswick Band will visit Chico’s with a lineup that features the TAB vocalist/trumpet wiz, AGP/Matisyahu keyboardist Rob Marscher and guitarist Nick Cassarino among others (tickets).  On September 24, Americana rocker Anders Osborne plays Chico’s backed by the Stanton Moore Trio (tickets). Completing the trifecta, Jersey boy Marco Benevento offers a rare solo piano show at the club on October 26 (tickets).

As part of our long-standing Everybody Wins When We Plug Something And In Return They Offer Us Free Shit To Give Away program, we’ve got a pair of tickets to bestow on a lucky reader for their choice of shows from what we’ve listed above. To enter, simply leave a comment below listing your name and hometown and telling us which artist you’d like to see (Jennifer, Anders/Stanton or Marco). You can only enter once and the contest ends on Friday night, September 10 at 11:59PM EDT. We’ll pick one winner at random over the weekend. Good luck!
