Restaurants With Live Music – Harry’s

The Bastard Sons of Captain Mey

This group of local Cape May musicians began swapping sounds and instruments at a BBQ in 2015. After a number of visits to MQ Murphy’s Open Mic at the Mad Batter in Cape May, he coined the band name “The Bastard Sons of Levon Helm.” After a courteous exchange with the late and great Mr. Helm’s friends and family, the boys adopted the name of the town in which they honed their sound. Since then, the boys have continued writing and performing the music they create combined with the music they like in various indoor and outdoor settings.

The Change

Some would call The Change our house band. Why, maybe because The Montreal Beach Resort’s owner Larry Hirsch is banging away on his drums with his band, The Change. Playing classic cover from the 60’s and 70’s, The Change bring a sense of Woodstock to Harry’s. Sadly, Larry can only play a couple of shows, being that he has a summer hotel to run. So make sure to check out The Change on The Roof @ Harry’s this summer.
