MAKING MUSIC

SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY & THE ASBURY JUKES

By Alan Sculley Over a 40-plusyear career, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes have never had a major hit single and chances are most people wouldn’t recognize frontman Southside Johnny Lyon if they saw him walking down the street near his Jersey shore home.

Lyon, though, has no complaints about where his musical life has taken him or about the busy touring schedule he maintains with the current lineup of the Jukes.

“The business is fine. We’re not making millions of dollars or anything like that. But there’s a lot of work,” he said in a phone interview. “It seems as though everybody enjoys being on the road.

Everyone has kids – I don’t – but everyone else does, but most all of them are grown, and I don’t know, we’re happy for the work.”

That doesn’t mean Lyon should not have had a bigger success. In particular, his first three albums with the Jukes (“I Don’t Want to Go Home, “This Time It’s for Real” and “Hearts Of Stone”) are widely credited with defining the Jersey sound with their rousing mix of rock and roll and hornfueled soul and featured quality songs written by local buddies Little Steven Van Zandt (who produced the early Jukes albums) and a certain guy named Bruce Springsteen.

Fans can expect Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes to deliver their usual crowd-pleasing shows now that the group has resumed touring after the pandemic.

“We have five or six songs that I know people want to hear.

Every time I start them, people get excited and that carries you through, even though we’ve done them a thousand times. But we leave a lot of room on stage for us to try and improvise and do some old stuff or some cover things,” Lyon said. “We might do some new material, too.”
