TAMPA – Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes are coming to the 1,500-seat Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa on Thursday, September 15, for an 8 p.m. show.
Over the course of more than three decades, the Jersey shore legends have issued more than thirty albums, several EPs, and a box set; along with thousands of live performances all over the world.
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 & the E Street Band, the Jukes evolved as more of a white R&B horn band in the Memphis Stax Records tradition.
Organized by singer John Lyon, guitarist/songwriter and Sopranos actor 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.
