All jokes aside, New Jersey is a pretty great place. While it has a lot to offer as a state, it also has a rich musical history of which many people remain unaware. Everyone knows Sinatra and The Boss, but there’s much more.
One of the keys to success in the music industry—or, perhaps any industry—is dedication and commitment. You can’t just give it a shot for six months and, when it doesn’t work out, throw in the towel. You’ve got to keep going; it’s at that point that you begin to build a loyal fan base and an identity that’s really yours. Though they’ve had many incarnations over many years, Speed the Plough has been plugging away since 1984 and they are still vibrant, creative, and eager to continue their musical pursuits.
This week, John and Toni Baumgartner visit “Garden State Sound” to discuss their brand new album, Now. We discuss how in many ways they’ve come full circle and remain very much committed to the New Jersey music scene, their new lineup, the vinyl process, and much more.
Tune in to hear how John and Toni have cultivated and nurtured Speed the Plough for over 30 years. It’s no small feat.
