SUMMARY:Wicked Peach at the Windjammer
DESCRIPTION:Wicked Peach at the Windjammer brings one of southeastern Connecticut’s longest-running rock cover bands back to Misquamicut Beach on Saturday\, August 15. The New London-based group takes the stage at 9 p.m. for a free 21+ show at the Windjammer Surf Bar\, combining three decades of local history with a late-summer Saturday night directly along the Rhode Island shoreline. (Wicked Peach) \nWicked Peach isn’t a newcomer working its way onto the local circuit. The band dates back to 1996 and has spent 30 years playing clubs\, casinos\, festivals\, town concerts and beach venues across Connecticut and Rhode Island. Its current calendar still stretches from Mystic and New London to Block Island\, Mohegan Sun and venues across the state. (Bandsintown) \nThe Windjammer is familiar territory for the band\, too. Wicked Peach has played the Misquamicut venue repeatedly\, including earlier appearances during the 2026 season. The August 15 show is another chance to catch them in one of the settings that fits the band particularly well: a crowded beach bar on a Saturday night with three hours of rock ahead. (Shazam) \nAbout Wicked Peach\nWicked Peach describes itself as a rock\, pop-rock and rock-hits cover band\, but its longevity is probably the more interesting part of the story. \nThe group has been part of the southeastern Connecticut and Rhode Island music scene since 1996\, making Wicked Peach a familiar name to generations of local bar and concert audiences. The band’s hometown is listed as New London\, and it continues to maintain a heavy regional performance schedule. \nThe core lineup features Ernie Lewis on lead vocals and guitar\, Stan Smith on bass and Jonathan Souza on drums. Guitarists Dan Watson and Corey Carter alternate with the group\, giving Wicked Peach a guitar-heavy lineup suited to the rock catalog it performs. (Wicked Peach) \nWicked Peach official website \nWhat You’ll Hear\nThis is a cover band rather than a tribute act devoted to one artist or decade. \nWicked Peach builds its shows around recognizable rock and pop-rock songs\, which gives the band considerably more room to move through different eras during a set. The emphasis is on songs built for a live crowd rather than obscure album cuts. \nThe band calls what it does a “full-on rock show\,” and its schedule reflects that approach. Wicked Peach regularly moves between nightclubs and bars\, outdoor town concerts\, festivals and casino stages\, including the Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun. \nA Local Band with Staying Power\nThirty years is a long run for any working band\, particularly one built around the New England club circuit. \nWicked Peach has remained active by doing something deceptively difficult: keeping familiar music entertaining for people who may have heard many of these songs hundreds of times before. \nIts 2026 schedule gives some idea of how established the group remains locally. Shows include stops in Mystic\, Groton\, Niantic\, North Stonington and New London\, along with Block Island\, the Wolf Den and multiple Rhode Island appearances. (Wicked Peach) \nFor longtime southeastern Connecticut music fans\, there’s a good chance Wicked Peach isn’t a band they need introduced. For everyone else\, the Windjammer show offers a pretty appropriate first encounter. \nRock Music on Misquamicut Beach\nWindjammer Surf Bar sits at 321 Atlantic Avenue\, directly along Misquamicut Beach. \nThe seasonal beach bar and restaurant combines indoor and outdoor dining with an oceanfront patio and a regular schedule of live entertainment during the summer. Wicked Peach has become part of that schedule\, returning for multiple performances at the venue. (Eventbrite) \nThe band’s August 15 performance is listed as free admission and 21+. (Bandsintown) \nMake a Night of It\nWith a 9 p.m. start\, there’s plenty of time to arrive earlier for dinner\, drinks or an evening on Misquamicut Beach before the band starts. \nThe Windjammer operates as a full restaurant and bar in addition to its live-music venue\, with seafood and casual beach fare on the menu. On a summer Saturday\, however\, the Misquamicut area can get busy\, so leaving extra time for traffic and parking is a good idea. \nThen at 9\, Wicked Peach takes over. \nEvent Details\nDate\nSaturday\, August 15\, 2026 \nTime\n9:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m. \nLocation\nWindjammer Surf Bar \nAddress\n321 Atlantic Ave.\nWesterly\, RI 02891 \nAdmission\nFree \nAge Restriction\n21+ \nEntertainment\nWicked Peach \nMusic\nRock\, pop-rock and rock favorites \nBand\nErnie Lewis – Lead vocals/guitar\nStan Smith – Bass\nJonathan Souza – Drums\nDan Watson/Corey Carter – Guitar \nParking\nFree parking is listed for Wicked Peach performances at the Windjammer. \nImportant Notes\nThis is a late-night beach-bar performance.
