Rock and Nina Blue also do a wonderful job of highlighting the businesses, sites and sounds of Atlantic City today, on and off the boardwalk such as The Hard Rock Casino, Fish Heads and Gardner’s Basin. Shawn Rock’s lyrics pay tribute to the sites and sounds that have been a part of Atlantic City since well before his birth, such as The Steel Pier and funnel cake.
