There are three names who
stand above the rest when you’re
talking about rock and roll in
New Jersey: Southside Johnny,
Jon Bon Jovi, and Bruce Springsteen. One man with connections
to all three is Bobby Bandiera.
For several years now, Bandiera
has created special tribute shows
around artists like Roy Orbison
and Eric Clapton or themes such
as Motown or British Invasion
acts. On Saturday, March 12 at
NewJerseyStage.com
the State Theatre, he turns the
spotlight on his own illustrious
career with a special show spanning the artists he’s shared stages with over the last 30 years.
In addition to the Big Three
(Bruce, Bon Jovi, and Southside),
Bandiera has performed with artists like Graham Parker, Darlene
Love, Gary U.S. Bonds, and Dave
Edmunds. All will have songs
included in the show, along with
a pair of Bandiera originals.
