Good Night Jeffrey Townsend

Yesterday on Wednesday July 30th , 2014 ...The City Of Atlantic City and Southern New Jersey lost one of it's true musical soldiers.

And when I say soldier, I mean that Jeffrey Townsend was a decorated United States veteran as well as a soldier for the music industry in South Jersey.

Through his connections at La Grande Fromage and other venues, Townes worked hard to give artists a stage to showcase their talents.

No one will be able to take his place.

I personally am still in shock.

I will however remember Jeff as a great human being that tried hard and made success easier for those coming after.

Stay tuned to www.TheAtlanticCityBeat.com for more info and responses to the shocking passing of Jeffrey Townsend.
