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.
Even though forecasters are predicting a final winter snow blast this weekend, it feels like spring in NJ—the birds are chirping, a warm wind can be found blowing, and there was even a thunderstorm this week. So, what better time to head to Cape May to attend this year’s Cape May Songwriters Conference. That’s where I’ll be this weekend, and where you—if you’re in the vicinity—should consider going.
This week, we don’t rely too heavily on this year’s roster of performers, we’ll do that in the future. But, we do revisit some old friends that we’ve met there. There is also music from some other underrepresented NJ favorites: Shirk Circus, The Feelies, and others. Come on in!
