Back on December 13th the 20th Annual Asbury Music Awards held it’s gala ceremony boasting a performance bill highlighted by the area’s best and brightest. Among the great sets turned in that night was “Song of the Year” winner Elevator Art’s powerful rendition of “Tent City” which was fortunately captured for posterity in a high quality format.

Check out Elevator Art performing “Tent City” live at The Stone Pony below featuring an interview with Fetish, and Emily Grove‘s acceptance of the “Top Female Acoustic Act” award.

Elevator Art’s Martian Diver was ranked #8 in SIMGE’s Top 50 Albums of 2012 feature:
