🎸 The Bongos – Live Reunion & CD ReleaseTrailblazers of the Hoboken sound, The Bongos were at the forefront of the alt-rock explosion in the 1980s, fusing art-pop sensibilities with a percussive edge that earned them airtime on college radio and early MTV.

Now, the original lineup—Richard Barone, James Mastro, Rob Norris, and Frank Giannini—returns to the stage to mark the 40th anniversary of their iconic 1985 Jersey Shore performance. That once-lost live recording has been unearthed and officially released as The Shroud of Touring on JEM Records, available for the first time at this exclusive show.

🌈 The Grip WeedsOpening the night with their signature blend of melodic power-pop and neo-psychedelia, The Grip Weeds bring rich harmonies, crunchy guitars, and cosmic vibes to set the tone for this milestone performance.

Steampunk Alchemy Fest 2025
2025-06-06 00:00 - 2025-06-08 23:59 | Vasa Park at Budd Lake, 1 Vasa Dr., Hackettstown, New Jersey, United States
Musical Marvels at Steampunk Alchemy Fest 2025: A Halo Called Fred, This Way to the Egress & Dust Bowl Faeries Set the Stage for Magic

When the gears turn and the steam rises at Steampunk Alchemy Fest 2025, the music isn’t just background noise—it’s the heartbeat of the entire experience. This year, festival-goers can look forward to an extraordinary lineup of musical performers who embody the wild, whimsical, and wonderfully weird spirit of steampunk culture.

Appearing live at Vasa Park in Hackettstown from June 6–8, 2025, the festival’s soundscape will be filled with accordion-driven anthems, surreal storytelling, and gypsy punk vibes that transport you straight into a steampunk fantasy world. Let’s take a look at the three headline acts that will transform the weekend into an unforgettable auditory adventure.

🎶 A Halo Called Fred – The Soundtrack to the Absurd

Festival favorites and long-standing icons of New Jersey’s steampunk and geek music scenes, A Halo Called Fred bring their trademark blend of humor, surrealism, and storytelling back to the Steampunk Alchemy stage. With songs about invisible squirrels, secret octopuses, and the power of imagination, this band proves that music doesn’t have to take itself too seriously to be brilliant.

Expect lively banter, crowd interaction, and songs that make you laugh, think, and maybe even dance in your corset and goggles. Their loyal following knows: if A Halo Called Fred is playing, you’re in for something special.

🎩 This Way to the Egress – Gypsy Punk Energy Meets Vaudeville Vibes

Stepping into the spotlight with explosive energy and a sound that blends dark cabaret, vaudeville, Eastern European folk, and punk rock, This Way to the Egress is more than a band—they’re a spectacle. Armed with accordion, tuba, keys, strings, and powerhouse vocals, their performances are part rock concert, part traveling circus.

Perfectly suited to the aesthetic and energy of Steampunk Alchemy Fest, this genre-defying group delivers high-octane shows that ignite the imagination and get the crowd moving. Whether it’s your first time seeing them or your tenth, Egress never plays the same show twice.

🌒 Dust Bowl Faeries – Haunting, Hypnotic, and Utterly Enchanting

If gothic Americana and steampunk noir had a love child, it would sound like Dust Bowl Faeries. This Hudson Valley-based band blends dark cabaret with accordion, lap steel guitar, and mystic vocals to create an eerie, otherworldly atmosphere. Think ghost towns, circus tents, and carnivals at midnight—wrapped in poetic lyrics and haunting melodies.

Perfect for twilight sets and cabaret performances, Dust Bowl Faeries bring an emotional and immersive experience that lingers long after the last note fades. They are the perfect sonic spellcasters for this year’s “Steampunk Summer Camp” theme.

Experience the Music of a Steampunk World

With these three powerhouse acts anchoring the 2025 lineup, Steampunk Alchemy Fest promises more than costumes and crafts—it promises a full-sensory adventure. Whether you’re coming for the cosplay, the community, or the cabaret, the music is guaranteed to elevate the entire experience.

Don’t miss these unforgettable performances:

Friday night: Opening sets and intimate introductions

Saturday: Full day of main stage performances and the adults-only cabaret

Sunday morning: Farewell sets to close out the weekend with magic

Pack your parasol, polish your boots, and get ready to dance with the dust and the dreamers. The soundtrack to your steampunk summer awaits.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

Jeff LorberJeffrey H. Lorber is an American keyboardist, composer, and record producer and started out like most successful musicians do, as a fan. Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock being two of his earliest inspirations. To figure out how to play like his heroes, he had to go back and study the history of jazz piano where he discovered Wynton Kelly, Thelonious Monk, McCoy Tyner, Red Garland, Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, and many more. Combine that with his love of Funk and R&B, and you get one of the most storied careers in modern Jazz history.

Jeff began his recording career in 1977 with The Jeff Lorber Fusion self-titled debut. The ensemble quickly gained traction and became one of the most popular touring acts on the scene. In 1982 Lorber made his solo debut with It’s A Fact. In 1985 he scored his first Grammy nomination with the hit “Pacific Coast Highway” from the album Step By Step. He has continued to write and record over the last 40 plus years releasing a string of successful projects including West Side Stories (1994), State of Grace (1996) and Midnight (1998), Kickin’ It (2001), Philly Style (2003), Flipside (2005), He Had A Hat (2007, Grammy nominated), Now Is The Time (2010, Grammy nominated), Galaxy (2012, Grammy nominated) Hacienda (2013 Grammy nominated), and Prototype (2017). Read more at Lorber.com

In 2018, he received a Grammy for his album Prototype in the Best Contemporary Instrumental Album category.

Alexander ZonjicIn 2020, eleven years after releasing Doin’ the D, an album paying dynamic homage to the music and magic of Detroit, Alexander Zonjic got back in the throwback R&B groove with the release of another infectious, high-spirited valentine to his beloved adopted hometown. Written and produced for the veteran, multiple award winning flutist by Pieces of a Dream keyboardist James Lloyd, “”Motor City Sway” – the infectious lead single from Playing It Forward, Zonjic’s first collection on his own Hi-Falutin Music label – quickly hit the Billboard Smooth Jazz Songs chart and was one of the most added singles on the Billboard BDS chart two weeks in a row. Ten of the eleven tracks on Playing It Forward were produced by keyboardist Jeff Lorber, who helmed the majority of sessions for Zonjic’s previous albums Reach for the Sky (2001), Seldom Blues (2004) and Doin’ The D.

A native of Windsor, Ontario (immediately across the Detroit River), Zonic is a 15-time Detroit Music Awards winner with deep and multi-faceted ties to and influence on the city. Read more at Zonjic.com
