Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes are legends in the rock ‘n' roll scene. For over thirty years they have been delighting audiences and recording music in their hard-driving style. These musical giants of the Jersey Shore influenced musicians from Bruce Springsteen to Bon Jovi and are still going strong today.

Having toured with Springsteen, the Jukes are a strong presence in the musical scene. Over the past thirty years, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes have created over thirty albums, several EPs and a box set. They have performed thousands of live concerts around the globe. They possess a dedicated fan base and they produced a release named by Rolling Stone one of the "top 100 albums of the '70s and '80s." The story continues as the band releases its newest studio album, PILLS AND AMMO, full of new material that is already getting rave reviews from fans.

Drawing influences from the likes of Muddy Waters and Little Walter, Southside Johnny prides himself on creating music that has a sound all its own. Guaranteeing amazing solos and emotion filled blues, Southside Johnny and his Jukes are a pleasure to watch on stage; a place they freely acknowledge is home. Johnny is confident enough to say, "I'll stack my group against any group out there. We enjoy playing, and the audience enjoys having a good time. Music is a shared emotion. We distill it down to that." When you distill Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, you come down to thirty-five years of great music and good times...and counting.
