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.
“Goosebumps. When you get them, you know you’re experiencing something which taps into your psyche in a way that’s often difficult to describe. The music of Russell Norkevich, for me, always leads to goosebumps. It offers me a hazy, nostalgic, dreamy quality that is devoid of time or space: Eltonesque. This New Jersey singer-songwriter arms himself with 88 keys and occasionally imagist lyrics which reach out to the listener from some familiar, but slightly abstract place.
Russell’s got a new song, “River Town,” which we also premiere on the program.
Tune in to hear Russell talk about writing and harmonizing life’s responsibilities, and enjoy the simple pleasure of a terrific songwriter making good sounds behind a piano. You might get some goosebumps, too.” —EZT
