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 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 .

Special Guests the Smithereens
1 Special Guests The Smithereens 1 2 9AM The Beatles - I Want You (She’s So Heavy) - Abbey Road (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The Beatles, with Billy Preston on keyboards, and with Glyn Johns as producer, recorded 35 takes at Trident Studios on February 22, 1969. From that session, take 9 was the best for the early part of the song, take 20 had the best middle eight, and take 32 was the best for the rest. The three “best” sections were edited into one all-encompassing master take. On April 18, at Abbey Road Studios, without Preston, and with Chris Thomas producing, John and George overdubbed layers of guitar parts onto the Trident “best” take, and a reduction mixdown was made, called “take 1.” Overdubs were added onto that. More overdubs followed on April 20. Fast forward to August 8. Now with George Martin producing, John overdubs sounds from the white noise generator of Harrison’s Moog synthesizer which produced the swirling, gale-force wind effect for the last three minutes of the song, and Ringo adds more drums (mostly crash cymbals). To complicate things, the group has been adding overdubs to two different master tapes of the song, so the best of each master is edited together to create the final album version of the song. The final album master has “take 1” for the first 4:37 and the original Trident tape for the remaining 3:07. The final album master of John’s sprawling song ran 8:04, but John opted for a surprise ending.

Bringing It All Back Home House Concerts Offer a More Intimate Experience for Both Listener and Performer
June 12, 2003 STAYING IN Bringing it all back home House concerts offer a more intimate experience for both listener and performer. By Brenda Rees, Special to The Times ASK anyone what's the best thing about attending a house concert — a semiformal musical performance in someone's living room or backyard — and the answers tend to be quick and to the point. You get to hear the music. Really hear the music. "I love having the eye contact with the performers," adds Ron Saraty from West Hills, who has been attending house concerts for five years. "It's that intimate environment and it's almost like they are playing just for you. It's like a jam session in someone's living room. It really is a blast." From the days when fiddlers enthralled neighbors on their front porches to the rock era's teens banging away in their garages, house concerts have thrived. A throw-your-own concert is particularly appealing now, given the expense of attending a live show in one of the massive venues. You can bring musicians into your own home for one-of-a-kind shows where spontaneity and musical artistry rule — and for a price that's affordable. Most who throw house concerts request a $15 to $25 donation, money that goes directly to the artist. Several also said they routinely include neighbors on their guest lists in addition to keeping the volume at a reasonable level to avoid noise complaints. "In a culture where there is too much of everything, living-room concerts really bring the people together," says Smithereens singer-songwriter Pat DiNizio, who, in addition to his regular club and concert dates, has been performing in private homes for five years.

Pat DiNizio, frontman for The Smithereens passed away December 12, 2017, at the age of 62. He was a proud resident of Scotch Plains. “It’s a little bittersweet for us.

Smith, who grew up in Scotch Plains with Suburb Realty DiNizio. “It’s very heart warming for the town we grew up in to give him NJAR Award Winner Silver Level Award 2017 recognition. It’s emotional he’s not here anymore. Deep inside he’d feel Gold Level Award 2016 touched and honored. He was humble, he’d be a little embarrassed about the recognition.” As part of my services Jim Babjak, Smithereens guitarist agreed. “He’d say, ‘Don’t make a big I will make those needed deal of it’ on one hand, but he’d be winking; Pat would be very honored.” repairs before you list.
