Jump Back, a Jersey Shore staple, has dropped “Misunderstood,” their new album blending blues and rock. This ten-song collection, produced with Surefire Recording Studios, features Jack Piccolomini’s “Stonesy” guitar, Wayne Kessler’s evocative harp and vocals, and John Dammacco’s potent bass, all contributing to the band’s tight, evolving sound. “Misunderstood” is a fresh and compelling display of Jump Back’s unique artistry.
We were honored to attend Les Paul’s 110th Birthday Celebration, a heartwarming event by the Mahwah Museum and Les Paul Foundation. The day was a beautiful musical tribute, featuring multi-track recreations by Tommy Doyle and Sandy, diverse sounds from DnA, and masterful jazz by the Ed Laub Quartet.
