Glen Burtnik, who got engaged to Christina Shafer onstage at the Stone Pony in December, will marry her up the Asbury Park boardwalk, on Sept. 19, in a show being advertised as “Glen Burtnik’s Love Concert: A Rock ‘n Roll Celebration, including the Wedding of Christina & Glen.” Tickets, priced from $27 to $57, are on sale via Ticketmaster.com.
Burtnik is a longtime mainstay of the New Jersey rock scene whose main current project is the Beatles-inspired band, The Weeklings. He made his Stone Pony proposal while making his acceptance speech for receiving the Living Legend Award at the 22nd annual Asbury Music Awards show.
