Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes

For Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes - ‘comfortable’ - has never been a word associated with  their brand of raucous, roots-tinged rock and bluesy  reverie. The band has flourished with more than 30 albums, releasing 12 studio albums since 1976….”Rolling Stone” named their early release “Hearts  of Stone” as one of the “Top 100 albums of the 70s and 80s”, thousands of live performances around the globe, a legion of famously dedicated and enthusiastic fans, and a vibrant legacy of classic songs that have become "hits" to their worldwide fan base.

Southside Johnny Lyon is known as The Godfather of "the New  Jersey Sound" and was inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame by close friend Jon Bon Jovi. Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes emerged from the New Jersey shore scene in 1974, and  though they carried over a significant influence (and some key personnel) from Bruce  Springsteen & the E Street Band, the Jukes evolved as more of a white R&B horn band in the Memphis Stax Records tradition. Organized by singer Lyon, guitarist/songwriter Steve Van  Zandt (who decamped for the E Street Band in 1975, but continued to produce, manage, and  write songs for the Jukes) and Richie Rosenberg, the band is well known for their high-energy  live shows and no-holds-barred songs, including “I Don’t Wanna Go Home,” “Havin’ a Party,”  “The Fever,” “Talk to Me,” “Trapped Again” and “This Time It’s For Real.”
