/24-7PressRelease/ - PRINCETON, NJ, June 18, 2008 - The city by the shore that was recently named by USA Weekend as one of the Top 10 Places to Hear the Best of America's Music will truly earn its spot on the list this weekend as the Wave Gathering Festival returns for a third straight year.

Users can choose between creating their own personal schedule (based on the artists they choose from a list) for the entire festival or for a particular day. All it takes is a few keystrokes and a customized schedule is instantly created for you and ready for printing.
The tri-state area is well represented with bands from New York City, Philadelphia and the best in New Jersey talent. In fact, over 200 artists will perform at this year's festival - including artists from all around the world. Admission is $40 for a 3-day pass or $25 per day.

AsburyMusic.com has also put together an online magazine in PDF form with interviews and features on 25 of the artists playing the festival. These articles were written by Gary Wien, a three-time Asbury Music Award Winner for Top Local Music Journalist.
