All jokes aside, New Jersey is a pretty great place. While it has a lot to offer as a state, it also has a rich musical history of which many people remain unaware. Everyone knows Sinatra and The Boss, but there’s much more.
Tune in to Garden State Sound with Evan Toth to explore the diverse music with connections to New Jersey. You’ll hear in-depth interviews with some of Jersey’s best music makers and have the opportunity win tickets to some of the best concerts in the state.
“Look, we can talk about rock and roll and jazz until we’re all blue in the face, but the whole point of this show is to underscore that New Jersey is home to almost everything under the sun. This week, we break out of the comfort zone and talk about fado—a traditional form of music from Portugal—with world-class Fadista, Nathalie Pires.
Born into a close-knit Portuguese community in Perth Amboy, Nathalie tells us where fado music comes from, how it called to her from Lisbon to the Garden State, and where it’s going. Spend some time with Nathlie and myself and explore something a little unexpected.” —EZT
