When Mike Delevante’s solid solo project, Summer Days, came out last year, it raised eyebrows as it was released only digitally. After all, Mike and his brother Bob are Americana legends.  As The Delevantes, they had the first #1 on the fledgling Gavin Americana Charts in 1995 with their Long About That Time debut—produced by E Street bassist Garry Tallent—for the prestigious Rounder label out of Massachusetts. The Brothers, now in Tennessee, came out of Rutherford (Bergen County), and formed The Delevantes in Hoboken.

It’s only been 37 years. Hoboken brothers Bob and Mike Delevante pioneered the Americana format in 1988 with the help of E Streeter Garry Tallent and Heartbreaker Benmont Tench. Now based in Nashville, as is Tallent (who appears on the new album), Delevante has festooned the party with immaculate flair.
