July 17 Sponsored by Frank Mercede & Sons Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes In a business where success is defined as getting a second single and longevity measured in nanoseconds, simply surviving for thirty plus years is a rare accomplishment. But Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes have not only survived, they have flourished: more than thirty albums; several EPs and a box set; thousands of live performances around the globe; a legion of dedicated and enthusiastic fans; dozens of classic songs; a release named Rolling Stone one of the “top 100 albums of the 70s and 80s.” Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes emerged from the New jersey shore scene in 1974, and though they carried over a significant influence (and some key personnel) from Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, the Jukes evolved as more of a white R&B horn band in the Memphis Stax Records tradition. Organized by singer John Lyon, guitarist/songwriter Steve Van Zandt (who decamped for the E Street Band in 1975, but continued to produce, manage, and Southside Johnny
write songs for the Jukes) and Richie Rosenberg, the band is well known for high-energy shows and no-holds-barred songs, including “I Don’t Wanna Go Home,” “Having a Party,” “The Fever,” “Talk to Me,” “Trapped Again,” and “This Time It’s for Real.” southsidejohnny.com

Alive@Five in partnership with Reckson and BevMax on the Dental365 Stage, Columbus Park, Stamford Downtown, Thursdays, 5pm
July 18 Sponsored by Reckson 98 Degrees In five short years — from 1997 to 2002 — 98° sold a staggering 10 million records, scored a chart-topping single, “Thank God I Found You,” with Mariah Carey and Joe, and collaborated with their collective idol, Stevie Wonder, on “True to Your Heart,” for the 1998 animated Disney film, Mulan. Their four-million-selling album, 98° and Rising (1998, Motown), spawned the top-5 favorites “Because of You,” “I Do,” and “The Hardest Thing,” while 2000’s Revelation (Universal Records), which sold 98 Degrees two million copies, peaked at number 2 on the Billboard 200 and yielded a trio of hits, “Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche),” “My Everything” and “The Way You Want Me To.” The male-harmony group, which includes Jeff Timmons, Justin Jeffre and brothers Nick and Drew Lachey, emerged at a time when teen-oriented acts such as the Spice Girls, The Backstreet Boys and NSYNC were just hitting the top of the charts around the world. They differentiated themselves from many of the other teen bands at the time as they wrote much of their own material, which reflected their own R&B influences. 98degrees.com
