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. Southside’s first three albums, I Don’t Want To Go Home, This Time It’s for Real, and Hearts of Stone, were produced by band co-founder Steven Van Zandt (E Street Band, The Sopranos), and largely featured songs written by Van Zandt and/or Springsteen. The Van Zandt written I Don’t Want To Go Home became Southside’s signature song. 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.

In a business where success is defined as getting a second single and longevity measured in nano-seconds, just surviving for thirty-plus years is a rare accomplishment. But Johnny and the Jukes have not just survived, they have flourished with over thirty albums, thousands of live performances, a legion of dedicated fans, dozens of classic songs, a record, Hearts of Stone that Rolling Stone called one of the ‘top 100 albums of the 70’s and 80’s’.

Following a sold out show last year, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes are back for another fun filled night of legendary songs at The Odeum!
