Get ready for the next installment of Garden State Live!, this time featuring the best of the blues. The Garden State’s blues-rock elite converge for one unforgettable night of scorching musicianship. Expect a celebration of New Jersey’s deep musical roots from the artists who keep the blues alive.
Billy Walton, the Asbury Park guitar master who earned his stripes with Southside Johnny and shared stages with Little Steven and Steven Tyler, brings decades of Jersey Shore rock royalty to the stage. His band’s high-energy performances have captivated audiences from the British blues scene to American jam festivals, proving that authentic blues-rock transcends borders.
Twisted Livin’, the South Jersey power trio from Somers Point, transforms any venue into a blues sanctuary. Since 2022, they’ve been bridging generations through their masterful blend of classic covers and original material, creating experiences that linger long after the final chord.
Debra Devi, Jersey City’s “supersonic fret-burner,” brings Hendrix-style jams and atmospheric slide guitar wizardry that earned comparisons to Samantha Fish and Susan Tedeschi. Her festival-tested performances and chart success prove she’s among today’s top blues-rock guitarists anywhere. Together, these three acts represent the best of New Jersey’s thriving blues scene — from the historic Asbury Park boardwalk to the vibrant South Jersey club circuit. Expect soaring solos, thunderous rhythms and the kind of authentic musical chemistry that can only come from artists who’ve paid their dues in the Garden State’s legendary music trenches.
Garden State Live! is a new monthly music series conceived from a partnership between the Prudential North to Shore Festival and Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Atlantic City that highlights some of the best artists on the music scene with a focus on southern and central Jersey. Each month focuses on a different musical genre and spotlights rising acts from the Garden State.
