The Asbury Park Music Awards is an annual award ceremony in Asbury Park, New Jersey, United States that recognizes musicians for their work.
Asbury Park's musical history includes a strong blues tradition and the Jersey Shore sound.
Artists associated with the town include Bruce Springsteen, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, Bon Jovi, and many others.
The first award ceremony was held in 1993 at the T-Bird Cafe, a small club that was owned by Stamper on Main Street in Asbury Park.
Attendance quickly exceeded The Saint's capacity and the ceremony began to rotate among larger venues, including The Fastlane and The Tradewinds.
