“Unfortunately, the owner contacted us after Bruce made comments that annoy him. The owner told us that he didn't want us to play in his club. Our answer was simply,” Fleming wrote on Facebook.

“We understood that it was his establishment and felt terrible that he was so annoyed. We offered to play completely different music. He explained to him that all nine people in the band are professional musicians who play in numerous different bands, and if they book us months in advance, we have this data as they are booked. If they cancel a week in advance. He had booked to play in his club.

He said: “His clientele and Toms River are red and do not tolerate his bulls-:” Fleming relatives.

The Bright-Red Toms River supported President Trump in the 2024 elections, and all seven members of the municipality and Mayor Daniel Rodrick are Republicans.
