Singer/Songwriter Will Resume Concerts in the Fall – Tickets To Be Refunded
The Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association (OGCMA) announced today that the Paul Anka concert, scheduled for Saturday, August 8, 2015, has been cancelled due to emergency surgery.
ICM Partners, agents for Mr. Anka, released the following statement: “Paul Anka experienced an emergency visit to the hospital this past week. His doctors have stated that the required surgery was completed successfully and he is at his home in California resting comfortably. Unfortunately the recovery period is three weeks and will render him unavailable to complete his scheduled performance. Mr. Anka will resume his concert schedule in the Fall.”
OCGMA Program Director Shelley Belusar said that the Camp Meeting explored alternative dates, but could not find a solution due to previously scheduled events in the Great Auditorium at the end of its season. “We wish Mr. Anka well and hope that he will come back to Ocean Grove in the future.
Previously purchased tickets for the concert will be refunded to all ticket buyers. The refunds will be automatically credited to the purchasers account. Watch for the credit within the next two weeks max. Any questions about refunds call Shelley at the OGCMA 732 775 0035 Ext. 108
OGCMA’S summer concert series will continue on August 15 with “4 GIRLS 4, starring Randy Graff, Andrea McArdle, Maureen McGovern, and Faith Prince; The Beach Boys (August 22), Felix Cavaliere’s Rascals and the Lovin’ Spoonful (August 29); Doo Wop Finale (September 5) and the Orchestra of St. Peter by the Sea (September 12).

Editor’s Note: We’re going to miss Paul Anka here in Ocean Grove. Last time he was here he put on a fabulous show. Blogfinger wishes him a speedy recovery, and no doubt all his Jersey fans feel the same way.
I heard him interviewed on TV, and he’s a guy who will be greatly disappointed that he can’t perform in the Great Auditorium with his big band. Here is a two song medley from his Live in Vegas album:
Seen him at least 20 times and had tickets for Thursday nights show. Hope he’s back on his feet soon.
Though I’m not a Jersey Ankafan I feel with all those who can’t be attending his performance and wish Mr Anka a speedy and complete recovery.
