The Gene Simmons Band featuring Tommy James
“Mony Mony”
Newly married in April, jamming with Gene Simmons in May: what a life! Check out Essex County Legend Tommy James rocking out with the Kiss star’s solo band at the Wellmont Theater in Montclair May 6.
Eric Roberson
“Where You Gonna Go”
Born in Rahway (Union County) 52 years ago, singer-songwriter-drummer-producer Eric Roberson epitomizes sweet soul music. Here, he teams up with BJ The Chicago Kid with a song so sweet, it melts in your mouth. “Where You Gonna Go,” off his Beautifully All Over The Place album, was filmed at Hill Theatre Studio in Paulsboro (Gloucester County), and mixed/mastered by Brett “B Dubb” Baker at A Humble Place in Highland Park (Middlesex County).

Steve Dadaian
“Revenant City”
Talk about the art of the shred! Steve Dadaian is from Cresskill in Bergen County. This is the title track from his second album, just released last month. (His Follow The Light debut came out in 2019.) “This one has some of my favorite melodic lines, riffs, soaring leads and epic orchestration,” says Steve. “I hope you all enjoy and can listen to the entire album.” That’s Ethan Bill on drums. We reported upon his “Garden Of Stars” with Dream Theater’s Jordan Rudess on April 8.
Myzz-London
“Downgrade”
Myzz-London’s scene in The Jersey Sound documentary almost stole the show! She filmed it before she became the teen queen you see in “Downgrade,” her latest video. We reported on the Hackensack-born rapper’s “Jingle Bells Bop” when she was a mere 11 years old back on December 23, 2022. There’s no telling how far this talented young lady will go.
