Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes
Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes are a legendary rock-pop group that have been entertaining audiences for more than four decades. Hailing from Asbury Park, New Jersey, the band has become synonymous with the Jersey Shore sound, a blend of rock and soul that combines the gritty energy of New York with the laid-back vibes of the beach.
The group was formed in 1974 by John Lyon, also known as Southside Johnny, and his childhood friend Steve Van Zandt, a member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. From their early days, the Asbury Jukes were known for their high-energy live shows, which often included horn sections and backup singers.
The band's breakthrough came in 1976 with the release of their debut album, "I Don't Want to Go Home," which was produced by Van Zandt and featured Springsteen on guitar and backing vocals. The album spawned the hit singles "I Don't Want to Go Home" and "The Fever," and helped to establish Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes as a force to be reckoned with in the music world.
Over the years, the band has released a string of successful albums, including "Hearts of Stone," "The Jukes," and "Better Days," which featured the hit single "It's Been a Long Time." They have also toured extensively, both in the United States and abroad, and have shared the stage with some of the biggest names in rock and roll, including The Rolling Stones, The Who, and The Beach Boys.
Despite their longevity, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes have never rested on their laurels, always evolving and pushing themselves creatively. In recent years, they have continued to release new material, including the critically acclaimed album "Soultime!" in 2015. They have also remained committed to their roots, performing regularly at the Stone Pony, the iconic Asbury Park venue that helped launch their career.
For fans of rock and roll, soul, and everything in between, a Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes concert is a must-see experience. With the band's signature horns, soulful vocals, and high-energy performances, they continue to prove that they are one of the most dynamic and enduring acts in music today.
