Chasing the Winter Blues with Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes
A weekend of dancing and rocking...
In this "SPRING" where winter doesn't want to quit, I needed a serious party weekend. What better band to put me in a happy, dancing mood than Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. I've been a fan and follower since 1980 and as long as Southside is touring, I'll be attending.
Both Friday and Saturday the band played for about two hours with no opening act.
Friday night, as an April snow storm was winding down, we drove to Rutland, Vt. to The Paramount Theatre to see the band from the front row. I left the NIKON at home but brought along my point and shoot.

Always great seeing the JUKES. To some they mean Jersey Shore, summer music, hanging "Under the Boardwalk" but to me they mean I'm gonna be "Havin' A Party!"
