(WATCH) Jersey Rock Video of the Week: Joe Deninzon & Stratospheerius “Frame By Frame” Live at ProgStock
Joe Deninzon & Stratospheerius rock Debonair Music Hall on 9/28! Check out their latest video on the Jersey Rock page!
When he's not playing violin in the iconic Classic Rock band Kansas, Joe Deninzon is busy pumping out killer Prog Rock tunes with his group Stratospheerius. The band blurs the boundaries of music with their classical take on Progressive Rock. Joe Deninzon & Stratospheerius recently released an ambitious CD/DVD/Blue Ray set, recorded at the ProgStock music festival. “Behind The Curtain (Live at ProgStock) is available at joedeninzon.bandcamp.com! Speaking of the release Joe Deninzon said:
“This was 2 performances over 2 different years and we compiled them to make a 2-hour Live album. It’s a DVD Blue Ray…In this day and age I know it’s crazy to release something like that, but we did it anyway!”
As the new live release has made its way into the public eye, Deninzon has been hard at work in his new role as the violin player in Kansas. Writing in his newsletter about the experience, Deninzon stated:
“It’s been a whirlwind! Playing with a legendary band performing music I grew up listening to in some of the coolest venues in the country, for sold-out or near sold-out audiences! It’s everything I dreamed about as a kid and more!”
Becoming a member of one of your favorite bands and going on tour with them would cause many artists to put other projects on hold. However that is not the case for Deninzon. He has dates lined up for Stratospheerius, with two shows in our area in the near future. Catch them at Debonair Music Hall in Teaneck on September 28 and Kennet Flash in Kennet Square, PA on September 30. Check out Joe Deninzon’s entire performance schedule HERE.

Here’s What I’d Buy If I Hit The Money Shot On 95.9 The Rat
A thousand bucks doesn't go as far as it used to these days. Or does it?! Winning a cool thousand bucks with The Money Shot contest heard on 95.9 The Rat at 8a, 10a, Noon, 3p, and 5p would be an awesome thing to happen!
As you know, it's easy to win. Just text the Money Shot Code word that we announce on air to 45911 and then wait for a call back from the home office.
But, what would I, me - Carl Craft - do with an extra thousand bucks in my bank account?! Well... I can tell ya. I'd turn it into a damn good time!
First, though, I'd put aside about 25% for taxes so I don't have to pay taxes for this prize when the tax man comes knocking on my door. And you know, that tax man will come knocking!
Specialty Glassware For My Bourbon
I'm a sucker for a tasty bourbon. And I'm even more of a sucker for a cool glass to put that bourbon in. I dig these glasses for my neat bourbon because they feature the outlines of some of the world's most famous mountain tops. Bonus points if you've actually been at the top of the mountain that is at the bottom of your glass! (FYI: Neat means no ice and no mixer, but you knew that!)
Bourbon Of The Month Club
Put those glasses front and center with a Bourbon of the Month Club. There's a bunch to choose from that you can find on the internet. For me, the best choice will be the club that I know will send me mostly bourbon I haven't tried before. Those of you who really know me know that is pretty hard to do! They better have some good stuff up their sleeve!

A Limo For A Brewery Tour
You got that right! If I hit a grand in The Money Shot I'd drop it on a limousine so that me and my boys could have an awesome night out hitting up all of our favorite local breweries. Icarus in Lakewood, Bradley Brew Project in Bradley Beach, Carton in Highlands, maybe even sneak into Source in Colts Neck. Transportation is on me, fellas!

I'd Drop Coin On High-End Meat For My Smoker
That's right. I'd hit up the internet and score some serious Kobe level brisket. Some wicked good pork butt, the best high-end foul you've ever heard of. I'd ship that stuff in over night and get it on my smoker and then, my friend, the real party would begin!

Amusement Park Season Passes
If I won a grand on The Money Shot I'd be looking to drop a bunch of it on season passes to my kids' favorite local amusement parks! Casino Pier and Breakwater Beach, look out we're coming your way! Great Adventure and Hurricane Harbor... me and the boys are going to be all over you! My boys love those water park rides and roller coasters! We're all in on that, baby!
(Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)Even with dropping coin on season passes to these local places, I'd have money left over!
New Tires For My Car
This one isn't so sexy, but, hey my sled needs some fresh rubber sometime before the winter weather rolls around. A cool thousand bucks would be a nice way to spend that dough comfortably instead of having to budget it or pull out of savings!
