The Jersey Shore Sound: Before Springsteen, the Stone Pony & the Asbury Park Music Scene
Bruce Springsteen may be the biggest name to emerge from the Jersey Shore music scene — but the Jersey Shore Sound didn't begin with Bruce. He came out of a musical community that was already thriving. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the history of the Jersey Shore Sound — from the R&B, soul, blues and rock & roll roots of Asbury Park to the Upstage Club, the Stone Pony and the generations of musicians who made the Shore their musical home. We'll explore the connections between Bruce Springsteen, Southside Johnny, Steven Van Zandt, Clarence Clemons, David Sancious, Danny Federici, Garry Tallent, Vini Lopez, Bill Chinnock, Bobby Bandiera and many others. We'll also look at the legendary Jersey Shore club scene, Bruce's bar-band sit-ins, the extended musical family that includes Gary U.S. Bonds and Joe Grushecky, and even where artists like Graham Parker, Elvis Costello and Bon Jovi fit into the story. Because the Jersey Shore Sound isn't simply a genre. It's the story of a musical community that helped create Bruce Springsteen. If you enjoy music history, classic rock, Asbury Park, the Stone Pony and the stories behind the musicians we grew up listening to, this one's for you.
