Albert Music Hall

New Jersey


Not to be confused with the Royal Albert Hall of London, this venue packs a punch with smokin' live bluegrass and warmed-up hot dogs. American folk legend Pete Seeger played two benefits here to raise money for the new venue in the 1970s. Shows every Saturday at 6:30pm and a Sunday bluegrass jam at noon.

It's 2 miles east of Rte 69 and a quarter-mile west of Rte 9.
