Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes In The Star-Ledger's Hall Of Fame
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 & Pop Hall of Fame. It will live permanently at NJ.com/rockpop and induct a new class annually.
Southside Johnny loves so many different kinds of music he needs another band
That’s why, when Southside Johnny Lyon comes to the Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River on Friday night (March 16), he won’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–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.
Southside Johnny brings the Poor Fools to ST94

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.
Southside Johnny And The Asbury Jukes Raise The Roof at Landmark
Exuberant, energetic, and inspired performance by the Jersey band.
By Ann W. Latner – 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.
