Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes first achieved prominence in the mid-1970s, emerging from the same New Jersey Shore music scene as his now legendary contemporary and friend Bruce Springsteen.

With their classic blend of hard-core R&B and street-level rock, molten grooves, soulful guitar licks and blistering horn section, Johnny and his Jukes continue to put their unique stamp on the Jersey Shore sound, while recalling the glory years of Otis Redding and similar Stax Records titans.

While he’s too gracious to admit it himself, Grammy-winning singer, songwriter and musician Marty Stuart is living, breathing country-music history. He’s played alongside the masters, from Cash to Lester Flatt.

Anybody who has paid attention to Lee Ann Womack for the past decade or so could see she was headed in the direction of a breathtaking hybrid of country, soul, gospel and blues with songs such as I Hope You Dance, Last Call, I’ll Think of a Reason Later, & A Little Past Little Rock.  

Singer-songwriter Jeff Perigo has been playing music since 1994 in the Johnstown, Indiana and Somerset areas — including acoustic or electric, classic rock, folk, blues, country and jam band.

His influences include The Grateful Dead, The Beatles, The Band, The Allman Brothers Band, and many underground musicians he has seen throughout the years. He prefers writing blues-based rock songs and rearranging cover songs adding his own unique twist.
