On Friday evening, Dec. 29, Tony Mart will celebrate the sensational 2023 season presenting yet another legacy performance as we leap forward into next year.
With amazing synchronicity, Tre Twitty, the tremendously talented grandson of one of the most famous entertainers in Tony Mart history, Conway Twitty, has become part of the Tony Mart family, headlining at the Tony Mart Country Rockin’ New Year’s Finale as a guest star on this 2023 finale show along with the Tony Mart All Stars.
Amazingly, Tre was looking for the legendary place where his grandfather played rock ‘n’ roll at the Jersey Shore for so many seasons, when he found us.
The synchronicity of our legacy, and the lives and love touching so many is truly awesome in the most karmic way people come together. This past week we met Tre Twitty who came to Somers Point looking for the legacy of Conway Twitty at Tony Mart’s in the 1960s.
He will be appearing as a guest star at our just-announced Tony Mart Country Rockin’ New Year’s Finale concert party Dec. 29 from 7 to 10 p.m. at VFW Post 2189, 500 Bethel Road in Somers Point.
He is a highly respected national touring artist who performs regularly with Tayla Lynn, the granddaughter of Loretta Lynn in a tribute to Conway and Loretta who performed together for many years.

Tre will perform rock and roll and country hits made famous by his grandfather including: “It’s Only Make Believe,” “Hello Darlin’” and “Lonely Blue Boy,” all recorded around the time he was a headline star at Tony Mart’s.
The Tony Mart All Stars will delight everyone with favorite country, country rock and rock ‘n’ roll favorites as well as holiday songs for dancing and singing.
The show will feature Danny Eyer, Rich “Megahurtz” Kurtz, “The Voice” Brian Conover and “Old School” Jimmy Glenn in addition to the performance by the grandson of one of the greatest Country Music Hall of Fame and classic rock ‘n’ roll stars who made history at Tony Mart’s.
General admission will be $15 and limited in number. Seating will be open with doors opening at 6 p.m. and performances from 7 to 10 p.m. Through the efforts of Andy Malson at Somers Point VFW, a full bar service will be available to the public at affordable VFW prices.
It’ll be a rockin’ good-time introduction to Somers Point for Tre Twitty who will warm us up for the Somers Point Beach Concerts where he inevitably will perform in the summer season.
Let the Good Times Roll!
