Make sure you stop by at Southside Johnny & The Poor Fools’ new online home… which just opened at http://thepoorfools.com/ Get a brief bio on the band, some catchy newsflashs and (probably most important) the official tour calendar. A Poor Fools Store will follow soon! So check back often!
For the past thirteen years, Southside Johnny has been making Red Bank sing on New Year’s Eve. But if you can’t get to the Count Basie Theatre for this year’s Jukes concert, you’ve got another option — as long as you get SiriusXM.
Just a year ago, Southside wrote on his website: “Big thanks to all those who made it out to the Lynn Auditorium (…) this past weekend! Special thanks to Mayor Kennedy and her staff and family, for breaking out the red carpet for the Jukes and allowing us to bring some chaos to City Hall. We didn’t quite get the key to the city, but maybe next time…”
Now, this just came in on Southside Johnny’s official Twitter stream: “Southside just got the key to the city of Lynn, Mass. Don’t bother locking the doors Lynnians.” Photo of Lynn Mayor Judith Flanagan Kennedy & Johnny via: img.ly
Congratulations to Mayor Kennedy for the stunt and to the honorable Mr. Lyon… for one of the nicest smiles ever seen on his face! Too cool!

Via: Speak Into My Good Eye by Chris Rotolo, Senior Staff Writer: According to a tweet made Tuesday afternoon by local producer, and electric ivory tickler for the Southside Johnny led Asbury Jukes, Jeff Kazee, he and the aforementioned front-man have finished recording a cover of The Beatles‘ “I’m Down” for a lengthy project, nearing the entrance to its third year, named The Beatles Complete On Ukulele (TBCOU).
(ASBURY PARK, NJ) — Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes have announced they will play the Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul 1982 debut album ‘Men Without Women’ in sequence during their July 2nd show at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park. The Jukes will have some help from some friends to perform the album which include former Jukes and original Disciples of Soul members Richie “LaBamba” Rosenberg, Mark “Loveman” Pender and Stan Harrison along with Seeger Session Band members Soozie Tyrell and Lisa Lowell.
‘Men Without Women’ charted in the US Billboard 200 in 1982 with top 100 single “Forever”, which has been a long time favorite at the Asbury Jukes shows over the years. Steven Van Zandt was a founding member of Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes and longtime member of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.
Hey, gang.
Thought I’d say something here for all to see. It’s been a bad couple of weeks. Kevin, Steve Popovich and now unbelievably, Clarence. I’m still finding it hard to get out of bed in the morning. But think what all three would say.
Don’t let your mourning stop you from enjoying life.
Kevin was always positive and up, and Steve, whom most of you didn’t know, had such energy and love of music that he would wear you out. Clarence, well just look at the clips on youtube. Could anyone be more forceful and happy with his being a member of the E Street Band?
I guess the lesson is to wring every drop of joy out of our brief time on earth and celebrate the gifts that these and other giving people left us, and try to do the same for others.
These are the moments that make me glad I make music. It’s helps me and I know it can help you, too.
It’s like Steve Van Zandt wrote: Better Days Are Coming.
Love, Southside
