Savanna Leigh and Juniper Bring Summer Vibes to The Asbury Hotel’s Summer Solstice Pool Party
As the Prudential North To Shore Festival continues to light up Asbury Park, a special moment quietly unfolded at The Asbury Hotel’s Solstice Summer Pool Party on June 21st. Nashville’s singer-songwriter Savanna Leigh and the indie band Juniper brought their Time Traveler Tour to town, delivering a standout performance that fit seamlessly in Asbury’s music-loving scene—and could have easily headlined a much bigger stage.
Savanna Leigh
With perfect weather setting the tone, the summer party and musical performance delivered an ideal kickoff to the season. Guests soaked up the sun, music, and resort-like atmosphere as Savanna Leigh took the stage, captivating the crowd with a voice best described as pure velvet. Smooth, warm, and effortlessly controlled, her vocals earned enthusiastic praise from fans who eagerly approached her after the set to share their excitement. Leigh even fulfilled a fan request mid-show, adding to the fun, carefree feel of her set. One of the highlights of her performance was her latest single “cut to the chase,” a track that showcases her sharp songwriting and fresh pop sensibility.
Juniper
Next, Nashville’s indie band Juniper kept the energy high with a lively, engaging set. Visiting Asbury Park for the first time, the band made it clear they were loving every minute of their beach town experience. Frontman Scott Johnson connected easily with the audience, blending laid-back humor and heartfelt gratitude between songs. The group exhibited tight musicianship with their catchy beats, technically proficient guitar work, and harmonizations. Their polished sound showcased a band fully locked in and at a high, professional level.
I got the sense from watching the crowd that Savanna and Juniper earned many new fans that night. Make sure to add their music to your summer playlists and follow them on socials. Both of their futures look extremely bright!
