Often known as the Troubadour and the bard of Coney Island, Songster, Amos Wengler has, for the last couple of decades, provided the soundtrack for this world-famous fabled piece of land known as Coney Island. World famous himself, Amos can be seen every year at Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on the big stage strumming his guitar and crooning out his love for Coney Island. He’s also a presence at almost all of Coney Island’s events, especially those that are meant to save his beloved land. He’s also been a long-time Coney Island Polar Bear and even has a song for that. He’s a can’t-miss at the Mermaid Parade every year, which he has a catchy diddy for that too. more information on songs, Coney Island and other video's check out Myspace or Youtube under Amos Wengler.
