SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY & THE ASBURY JUKES Perform At The Davidson
With a decades-long successful career, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes continue to deliver their soul-searing brand of raucous blues and R&B, with material mined from their many albums, featuring hits like "I Don't Want to Go Home," "Love on the Wrong Side of Town," "The Fever," "This Time It's for Real," "Talk to Me," and their definitive, fun-time cover of "We're Having a Party." The Jukes' legendary, high-energy live performances always satisfy with their classic blend of Stax-influenced R&B and gritty, Stonesy rock and roll.
CAPA presents Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes at the Davidson Theatre (77 S. High St.) on Thursday, April 4, at 8 pm. Tickets are $28-$48 and can be purchased in-person at the CAPA Ticket Center (39 E. State St.), online at www.capa.com, or by phone at (614) 469-0939 or (800) 745-3000.
Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes emerged from the New Jersey shore scene in 1974, and though they carried over a significant influence (and some key personnel) from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, the Jukes evolved as more of an R&B horn band in the Memphis Stax Records tradition. Organized by singer John Lyon, guitarist/songwriter Steve Van Zandt (who decamped for the E Street Band in 1975, but continued to produce, manage, and write songs for the Jukes), and Richie Rosenberg, the band is well-known for high-energy shows and no-holds-barred songs, including "I Don't Wanna Go Home," "Havin' a Party," "The Fever," "Talk to Me," "Trapped Again," and "This Time It's For Real."
Still tinged with the exuberant rhythm and blues feel that is the Jukes' trademark and loaded with the driving sound of the legendary Jukes horn section, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes continue to expound their signature Jersey Shore sound for the sheer joy of it.
