Bobby Mahoney Signs With Stevie Van Zandt’s Wicked Cool Label

Written By Mike Greenblatt
Bobby Mahoney

He came out of East Brunswick, settled in Asbury Park, and led his band, The Seventh Son, for a 12-year run as one of the area’s most prized possessions. He used to dabble in post-punk chaos but has streamlined his hardcore tendencies on the new album, Another Deadbeat Summer, out June 14, with its already-out “Empty Passenger Seats” single. The band now consists of guitarist Andrew Saul, drummer James McIntosh and bassist Jon Chang Soon ably aiding and abetting singer-songwriter-guitarist Mahoney’s musical mayhem. You can see for yourself May 4 at Low Dive in Asbury.
