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.
“Okay, okay, I hear you! We’ve only done a dozen episodes and here we are doing a second full show dedication to Bruce Springsteen. Excessive? Sure. Reasonable? Absolutely.
The whole point of this show is to share the wealth of music that is available in NJ, but Bruce’s shadow looms large. Just in time for your holiday shopping, the Boss has released a box set featuring the first seven albums of his career: it is available on vinyl, CD, and digitally. What’s most exciting about it is that five of the seven albums have not been remastered until now. This program features the freshly remastered tracks so that you can enjoy Bruce in all of his remastered glory.
So, convince the bossman to let you leave the factory a little early, pick up your best girl, and ball the jack down the parkway whilst pondering the many tangled complications involved in attaining the American dream.” —EZT
