The Jukes have more than 30 albums on their resume, thousands of acclaimed live performances across the globe, and a vibrant legacy of classic songs that have become “hits” to their large and famously-dedicated fan base. Their latest album Men Without Women: Live 7-2-11 (Leroy Records), produced by John Lyon, Jeff Kazee and Joe Prinzo, was recorded live in Asbury Park, New Jersey at the Jukes’ Stone Pony performance with Little Steven Van Zandt in attendance. The 2012 release features a track-by-track performance of Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul 1982 album of the same name, along with three classic Asbury Jukes bonus tracks featuring Van Zandt performing with the band: “This Time it’s for Real,” “Broke Down Piece of Man” and “It’s Been a Long Time.” Tickets are $49, $39, $29 and $19.*
For two shows on Friday, March 8 and Saturday, March 9, 2013 at 8 p.m., Philadelphia-based rock ‘n’ soul duo Daryl Hall & John Oates return to bring four decades of chart-topping favorites to Hard Rock Live.
