I’ve been waiting for this one! Our interview with Eddie Brigati on the eve of The Rascals getting inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame is a blockbuster. He feels wronged. He feels his late brother, vocalist extraordinaire David Brigati, was wronged. Should be interesting to see if the three surviving Rascals will be together up on that stage. If I was a betting man, I’d bet the mortgage they will not. I know Eddie will, though, and he plans to say some stuff. Can’t wait.
This issue, “Jersey History” looks at Johnny Stark from Englewood, a 50s rockabilly singer who hit Hollywood running and morphed into a ‘70s soul man. You’ll meet Morris County singer-songwriter Justin Messina. Peruse “The Hot 100,” making sure to watch the videos of the top 10. “Jersey Bookshelf” is about British guitarist Jeff Beck as co-written by a Jersey Boy author. The “Calendar” has 60 shows in 60 days and the “Events” takes a deeper dive into some of those shows. “Visual Sound” has five more videos to watch and “The Lowdown” has all the Garden State music news that’s fit to post.
