All jokes aside, New Jersey is a pretty great place. While it has a lot of offer as a state, it also has a rich musical history that many people remain unaware of. Everyone knows about Springsteen and Sinatra, but there’s more out there too, including a diverse current music scene.
Tune in to Garden State Sound with Evan Toth to explore music with connections to New Jersey. You will 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.
Garden State Sound is hosted by longtime NJ radio personality and musician Evan Toth on WFDU.FM.
“New York City is what comes to mind when people think of Paul Simon: Central Park, West Village bookstores, or poetry readings in bohemian downtown flats. The songwriter was, however, born in Newark, NJ, so he’s one of us, whether he likes it, or not.
This week, we celebrate the birthday of Paul Simon and think about what his life was like before his parents moved the family across the river to Kew Gardens where Paul was introduced to such NYC characters as the Queen of Corona. Tune in to hear an hours worth of material from one of the greatest—and occasionally extremely controversial—songwriters in American history.” —EZT
