		<description><![CDATA[By Kevin Gross/Gloucester County Times &#8211; Friday, March 23, 2012 &#8211; The Poor Fools is made up of members from his other band, the Asbury Jukes, and includes John Conte on bass, Tommy Byrnes on guitar, and longtime Jukes collaborator Jeff Kazee on the organ and percussion, plus Springsteen violinist and fiddle player Soozie Tyrell. The lesser-known singer and songwriter, who followed a path similar to Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi, got his start as a teenager in the late ’60s. Now he has accumulated nearly 20 studio albums as Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, along with live albums, EPs, solo work and collaborative work with Springsteen, Bon Jovi and others. “It comes and goes. When you’re inspired it seems like you write a lot of songs,” said Johnny. “Right now, these last two years have been very fertile for me.” Read the full article on NJ.com]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Jay Lustig / The Star-Ledger: New Jersey ranks 11th among the states in population, and 47th in physical size. But in terms of musical importance, it’s second to none. The state where the phonograph record was invented by Thomas Edison has produced a long list of musical giants. Seeking to honor the state’s greatest talent — and, frankly, annoyed that the national Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has not seen fit to honor some of the most prominent artists that New Jersey has produced — The Star-Ledger and its website, NJ.com, have created the Rock &#38; Pop Hall of Fame. It will live permanently at NJ.com/rockpop and induct a new class annually. The Class of 2012, listed chronologically (determined by the start of their careers), is: • Frank Sinatra • The Shirelles • The Four Seasons • Dionne Warwick • George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic • Kool and the Gang • Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band • Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes • The Smithereens • Bon Jovi • Whitney Houston • The Fugees Why did we pick these 12?

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s why, when Southside Johnny Lyon comes to the Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River on Friday night (March 16), he won&#8217;t be with The Jukes, but with a new quintet, The Poor Fools. Southside and the new band will be performing a wide variety of music, in a mostly acoustic setting, from seldom heard Jukes tunes to surprising trips afield&#8211;Muddy Waters to Mose Allison, Wilco to The Band, George Jones to Django Reinhardt. Fans can expect the unexpected, and the show gets underway at 8 p.m., with advance tickets $35, or $40 at the door. The Narrows Center is located at 16 Anawan St., Fall River. Tickets can be purchased online at www.ncfta.org, or by calling 508-324-1926. The best way to summarize the show is that it is only limited by Southside Johnny&#8217;s musical tastes, and since he&#8217;s a voracious music fan, that encompasses a lot of territory. While his reputation as a rock &#8216;n&#8217; soul icon is secure after 35 years and 30-odd albums, not to mention Southside and the Jukes being noted long ago as Bruce Springsteen&#8217;s favorite band, The Jukes just didn&#8217;t quite fit all of his musical tastes. This group evolved from casual &#8230; <a href="http://asburyjukes.net/2012/03/15/southside-johnny-loves-so-many-different-kinds-of-music-he-needs-another-band/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Taking some time off from his primary gig as frontman for Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, Johnny Lyon is paring things down a little bit for his latest tour. Bringing the Poor Fools to Sellersville on Sunday, March 25, for an intimate, acoustic set, Lyon plans to have a great time going through some choice selections of the great American songbook. “It’s a chance to do other types of material,” Lyon said of developing the Poor Fools side project. “We do a little bit of everything — folk, bluegrass, blues, R&#038;B, country — whatever we feel like doing that night. We’ll do some original material, a few Jukes songs, George Jones, Neil Harris, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits. Just great American songwriters. And some not so great. I look at it as another chance to make music.” Emerging out of the Jersey Shore music scene in the ‘70s, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes shared a lot in common with friends and contemporaries, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Steven Van Zandt was actually a founding member of the Jukes before defecting to E Street as his full-time gig.

		<description><![CDATA[Exuberant, energetic, and inspired performance by the Jersey band. By Ann W. Latner &#8211; March 14, 2012 Ears are probably still ringing from the incredible performance by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes on Saturday night at Landmark on Main Street. Attendees of the sold-out show certainly got their money’s worth – the band played for almost three hours, with barely a breath between songs. It was one of the most exciting shows I’ve seen at Landmark, and that’s saying a lot. There is no doubt that Southside Johnny’s sound is the “real deal” – gritty, heartfelt rock and roll with some blues thrown in for good measure. Johnny has many ties with Bruce Springsteen – both New Jersey boys who know how to rock. But given the choice (and no disrespect to “The Boss”), I’d sooner see Southside Johnny in an intimate venue like Landmark than see Springsteen in a huge stadium.

		<description><![CDATA[By Gary Graff &#8211; for Journal Register Newspapers; Twitter: @graffonmusic. Like most Jersey Shore music veterans, Southside Johnny Lyon was “kind of shocked” when Clarence Clemons from Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band died last June. And when Springsteen decided to tour this year, Lyon had an early inkling that it would cost him one of his own saxophone players — Ed Manion, a longtime member of Southside Johnny &#38; the Asbury Jukes, who’s also been part of horn sections Springsteen has taken on the road before. “When Clarence died, everybody thought, ‘Well, if Bruce goes out, he’s gonna want to take a sax player,’ “ says Lyon, 63, whose Asbury Jukes was co-founded with eventual E Street Band guitarist Steve Van Zandt. Springsteen also co-wrote songs and sang on some of the Jukes’ early albums&#8230; Read the full article at: The Daily Tribune]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Southside Johnny Lyon has been playing with his Asbury Jukes since 1975. By Dave Hoekstra &#8211; February 29, 2012 5:58PM &#8211; He still combs America’s backstreets with more regularity than his New Jersey compatriots Bruce Springsteen and Steven Van Zandt. Lyon is hotwired to soul and rhythm blues, and his party music is best heard in smaller venues where you can twist the night away. When Lyon has free time he looks for used record stores and flea markets in the city where he is performing. Lyon and Springsteen bassist Garry Tallent have a shared collection of 5,000 45s, 4,000 albums and 2,000 78s. Like finding a mint copy of Sam Cooke’s “Night Beat” in a dusty record store, Lyon hit a vintage “gotcha” moment in a recent conversation to promote his March 3 show at the House of Blues. He was talking about record collecting, but he could have been talking about his career&#8230; Read the full article at: The Chicago Sun Times]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Written by Jeff Spevak &#8211; 20120126 &#8212; There was a point, about 20 years ago, when we nearly lost Southside Johnny. &#8220;I was sick of the music business, I had personal problems, my mother was dying,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I needed to get away. I found this little house, kind of a lodge with a four-burner stove, two of which worked, and a fireplace. Every now and then I&#8217;d go into town and buy some groceries&#8230; talk to the perky little checkout girl. But mostly, it was just a pile of books and listening to classical music — and whiskey. Piles of books and whiskey bottles, and that was it.&#8221; It seems like a bad story, but romantic at the same time. The musician who drifts away, searching for something, puttering with dysfunctional appliances. Turning his back on those amazing times in the early &#8217;70s when Bruce Springsteen came roaring out of New Jersey, and right on Springsteen&#8217;s heels was his own band, Southside Johnny &#38; the Asbury Jukes. Jon Bon Jovi — he&#8217;s another one of those Jersey rockers — said it was Southside who inspired him to put together his first rock band. A mesh of rock and soul. &#8230; <a href="http://asburyjukes.net/2012/02/04/southside-johnny-returns-to-his-american-music-roo-ts/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Joel Rubinoff, Record staff &#8212; “I’d seen James Brown and Ray Charles,’’ Southside Johnny, a.k.a. Johnny Lyon, is telling me over the phone from somewhere on the New Jersey Shore. “But I walked into the place I used to hang out, the Upstage Club, and this long-haired guy was onstage telling a story about how the nuns taught him the blues by bringing in a B.B. King album one day. “And he just was riveting, and I thought ‘Wow, who is this guy?’ ’’His name, of course, was Bruce Springsteen, though at the time he was just another up and coming nobody trying to get a break. And when he and Lyon struck up a friendship, it changed the course of Lyon’s life&#8230; The year was 1967, says Southside, or maybe ’68, and New Jersey was alive with the sounds of the primitive, pre-Beatles rock and Stax soul that would infuse both his and Springsteen’s work. “I was living with Miami Steve (Van Zandt, Southside’s guitarist, songwriting partner and producer before departing for Springsteen’s E Street band) and Albany Al in a three-bedroom apartment,” recalls the 63-year-old rock vet.
