Despite a stunning view of the Manhattan skyline, Garden State pride was in full bloom during Nicole Atkins' set at New Jersey's All Points West festival. After promising the fans a guest appearance from a Jersey icon, the band was joined on stage by the pork roll, egg and cheese mascots of Lakewood, New Jersey's Blue Claws minor league baseball team. The trio of giant food items proceeded to dance around the stage to the singer's ultra-catchy single, 'Maybe Tonight.'Atkins, a proud Jersey native who greeted friends in the audience throughout her band's spirited set, proclaimed, "We are passionate about three things: New Jersey; pork roll, egg and cheese sandwiches, and punk rock," before closing the set with a scorching rendition of Patti Smith's 'Pissing in a River.'
