Local Teen Musician Organizes Fourth Wave Fest: A Benefit Music Festival Empowering Women in Asbury Park
ASBURY PARK, NJ – A wave of empowerment and melody is set to crash onto the shores of Asbury Park as local musician Carlotta Schmidt spearheads the Fourth Wave Fest, a vibrant music festival aimed at supporting both the arts and a noble cause. Scheduled for Sunday, March 3, 2024, at Asbury Lanes, this event promises a symphony of talent while channeling funds to 180 Turning Lives Around, a Monmouth County-based charity aiding survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Taking center stage at Fourth Wave Fest are women-led bands hailing from the heart of New Jersey. From the soulful rhythms of Des and the Swagmatics to the electrifying beats of Ryver Bey, the lineup boasts a diverse array of musical genres. Other acts include the Gab Cinque Band, Teen Idle, A Real Human Jazz Band, Pepperwine, as well as performances by Carlotta Schmidt and Anointed Friends.
Beyond the music, Fourth Wave Fest aims to celebrate Women’s History Month with screenings of iconic female musicians’ videos, courtesy of a collaboration with Steve Van Zandt’s Teach Rock organization. Attendees can also anticipate door prizes valued at over $1,000, adding an extra layer of excitement to the festival experience.
