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.
“Who looms larger in New Jersey music? Springsteen may be the Boss, but Sinatra will always be the Chairman of the Board. No one denies it; it’s undeniable. This week, we celebrate what would have been the 99th birthday of Francis Albert. Not only do we enjoy his music, but we explore his often complicated life and we revel in how he was able to take these experiences and emotions and grapple with them through music. Click “play” to listen to the heavyweight champion of music in NJ. Ol’ Blue Eyes is on “Garden State Sound.” Happy Birthday, big guy.” —EZT
