For one night, the drama of the Hamptons was replaced with acoustic guitars and singalongs in Atlantic City as Jesse Solomon stepped onto the stage at Ocean Casino Resort for his first-ever live acoustic performance.
Reality television fans and music lovers converged last Friday night as Jesse Solomon took the stage at Nola’s Bar & Lounge.
Best known for his role on Bravo’s “Summer House,” Solomon traded beach house drama for an intimate live music set that showcased another side of his career. Guests packed into the lounge to hear the reality TV personality perform a mix of original songs and crowd-pleasing covers before ending the night with his viral breakout track, “What Would Jesse Solomon Do?”
The performance came just days after the latest season finale of “Summer House” and ahead of the show’s highly anticipated reunion special. For fans in attendance, the acoustic set offered a more stripped-down and personal glimpse of Solomon beyond what viewers typically see on television.
According to Ocean Casino Resort representatives, the performance marked Solomon’s first public acoustic concert. While many know him from reality television, Solomon is also a classically trained jazz vocalist and singer-songwriter who has increasingly leaned into music alongside his growing television fame. His sound blends pop, jazz and acoustic influences, helping him build a following both on-screen and online.
Throughout the evening, audience members sang along, recorded videos and crowded near the stage as Solomon interacted casually with fans between songs. The relaxed atmosphere inside Nola’s Bar & Lounge matched the acoustic style of the performance, creating a more personal setting than a traditional concert venue.
Ocean Casino Resort has continued to expand its entertainment offerings in recent years, regularly hosting celebrity appearances, concerts and nightlife events aimed at attracting younger visitors to Atlantic City. Solomon’s appearance drew a mix of Bravo fans, casino guests and local visitors curious to see the reality star’s musical debut.
“Hosting Jesse Solomon’s first ever acoustic set at Ocean Casino Resort was a natural fit for the kind of intimate and unexpected entertainment moments we strive to create. The performance gave guests the chance to experience Jesse in a completely different light. It revealed a version of himself that was stripped back, deeply personal and centered entirely around his artistry. As he continues to evolve beyond reality television and further into his music career, it was meaningful for Ocean to serve as the backdrop for that milestone moment.” said Rebecca Thiry, executive director marketing
Closing the set with “What Would Jesse Solomon Do?” brought the loudest reaction of the night. The song, which helped launch Solomon’s music career and gained traction among “Summer House” fans on social media, capped off an evening that blended reality television fandom with live music entertainment on the north end of Atlantic City.
