t’s that time of year again. Seems like every year right around this time us Nerds are playing a little less in the clubs and nightspots of New Jersey and more time spent playing private events and fundraisers. Here’s a heads-up: it’s not by accident or coincidence… each year we set aside certain blocks of dates for these types of events – generally in the fall and spring. So guess what? Right NOW we’re booking private and public fundraising events for Spring 2027, so if you’re looking to book The Nerds for YOUR special event, CALL US! Let’s make it happen! THIS week we’re playing TWO incredible fundraisers. Thursday we’ll be at the Indian Trail Club in Franklin Lakes for the Back To The 80’s Gala to raise funds for Children’s Aid and Family Services. Friday night we’re at McBride Field – also in Franklin Lakes – for the Annual Oasis Oktoberfest fundraising event. Proceeds go to benefit Oasis – A Haven For Women and Children. Tickets for BOTH events are available online NOW. We wrap up the weekend at Pier Village in Long Branch for their Fall Festival and Pooch Parade when we hit the Carousel Stage at 1:30pm. There’s an old adage in show business that says never to follow kids or animals, and there will certainly be BOTH on Saturday, so we’ll just have to try and make the best of it. NEXT weekend we’ll be playing two private events, but Wednesday night we’ll be at South Gate Manor in Freehold for the 5th Annual Bad Moms Girls Night Out. Tickets are still available online NOW, and proceeds from this amazing networking event will benefit the SMART Foundation. We hit the stage at 8:30pm.
