Rock of Jersey
A Tribute to the Boss and Bon Jovi featuring The B-Street Band and Slippery When Wet (NJ) MARCH 5, 8:00 PM
This show pays tribute to two of New Jersey's most popular artists and the sounds of Jersey Rock. Slippery When Wet (NJ) is a group of seasoned veterans of the New York and New Jersey music scene. Raised on the same mean streets and reared in many of the same bars and nightclubs as Jon and the band, these experienced rockers bring the same energy, enthusiasm, and New Jersey attitude to the stage as the early Bon Jovi! From the heart of the Jersey Shore, the B-Street Band is the hardest working tribute band on the circuit. Loved by the musicians they honor, B-Street Band has had the privilege of performing with several E-Street Band members including Steve Van Zandt, Max Weinberg, the late great Clarence Clemons, Garry W. Tallent, and Vini "Mad Dog" Lopez.
