    Major New Festival Features Legendary Rock Band Spring and Fall Are the Busy Times in Southern Maryland for Festivals, Fairs

    Major new festival features legendary rock band Posted by Dick.Myers_Editor On 05/29/2013 Spring and fall are the busy times in Southern Maryland for festivals, fairs and other special events. But there was that short window of opportunity right after Memorial Day for another major event. Summerseat Farm on Route 235 in Oakville has seized that opportunity. This Saturday, June 1st will be the first Beer, Bands & BBQ. The bands part of the event features legendary rockers the Smithereens. To order tickets for Beer, Bands and BBQ, go to the Summerseat website at http://www.summerseat.org/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx The Smithereens formed in1980 and continue to this day with most of the original members, including lead vocalist and guitarist Pat DiNizio. All the original members were from New Jersey. The only change from the original band occurred in 2006 when Severo Jomacion took over bass guitar from Mike Mesaros. Other members are Jim Babjak (guitar and vocals), and Dennis Diken (drums and percussion). The band is noted for writing and playing catchy 19060’s influenced power pop. Their first album, “Blood and Roses” was included in the soundtrack for the 1986 movie “Dangerously Close.” This month and next the Smithereens will be special guests of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for six concerts. They have collaborated in the studio with musicians such as Suzanne Vega and Belinda Carlisle and on stage with Graham Parker and the Kinks. Other bands performing from Beer, Bands and BBQ from 1-8 p.m. are 80’s Metal Hair tribute band “One Louder” and local favorites “Justin Myles Experience” and the “Sam Grow Band.” Rounding out the other two “B’s” in the title of the event are 10 premium and craft beers and plenty of finger lickin’ food.
  • The Roots Report: an Interview with Dennis Diken

    The Roots Report: an Interview with Dennis Diken

    The Roots Report: An Interview with Dennis Diken In December of last year, Pat DiNizio, lead singer, guitarist and songwriter of the band The Smithereens, died at the age of 62. The Smithereens have had hits with songs such as, “Blood and Roses,” “Only a Memory” and “A Girl Like You.” DiNizio’s untimely passing was not only an emotional blow to the band, but it put their future in jeopardy. In January of this year they turned an already scheduled show into a tribute to DiNizio. At that concert several guest vocalists/musicians joined the band and among them was Marshall Crenshaw. He is known for his hits, “Someday, Someway” and “Whenever You’re On My Mind.” Besides those songs and others he played the role of Buddy Holly in the film LaBamba and began his career as John Lennon in Beatlemania. Crenshaw will be filling the vacant vocalist spot along with the surviving members of the Smithereens: Dennis Diken, Jim Babjak, and Mike Masaros when they come to the Greenwich Odeum on Saturday, November 17. I spoke with drummer, Dennis Diken about what has been going on with the band. Dennis Diken (Smithereens): Hey, John, it’s Dennis Diken from the Smithereens John Fuzek (Motif): Hi, how are you? Thanks for calling! DD: I am good, how are you doing, man? JF: I am good, so you are playing a show at the Greenwich Odeum next week, it’s a nice venue, have you ever played there? DD: It does not ring a bell but it’s been a long time we’ve been touring, it’s possible but I don’t think so JF: Maybe you played the Narrows last time that you were in town? I am not sure, I just know that I have missed your show every time you play! DD: I don’t think we have been to RI in a while.

    THE SMITHEREENS Bio

    THE SMITHEREENS bio Pat DiNizio—vocals, guitar Jim Babjak—guitar, vocals Dennis Diken—drums, vocals Severo "the Thrilla" Jornacion—bass "I think it's as good as anything we've ever done," Pat DiNizio says of Smithereens 2011 , the Smithereens' first album of original songs in 11 years. "I hate to use the term 'comeback album,' and it certainly wasn't planned that way, but it really feels like it," adds his longtime bandmate Jim Babjak. "It has the raw vibe of our early albums, while showing that we're moving forward and that we're still at the top of our game after 31 years." Indeed, the 13-song set shows the New Jersey-bred quartet to be making some of the most urgent music of their three-decade career, delivering their timeless brand of punchy, heartfelt rock 'n' roll with as much fire as ever. Such instantly memorable new tunes as "Sorry," "One Look At You," "A World of Our Own" and "Rings On Her Fingers" exemplify the Smithereens' trademark brand of punchy melodic songcraft, driven home by DiNizio's expressive vocals and emotionally complex lyrics, along with fiery ensemble performances that show off the uncanny musical chemistry of longstanding musical partners DiNizio, Babjak and Dennis Diken, and later addition Severo "the Thrilla" Jornacion, who joined in 2006. Smithereens 2011 's title slyly acknowledges the fact that it's the band's 11th studio album, and that it's been 11 years since their last collection of original material. The album's moniker—as well as its cover design—also pays tribute to the foursome's beloved 1989 release Smithereens 11 .
