According to their website, The Jukes emerged from the New Jersey shore scene in 1974. Although they carried over a significant influence, and even personnel from Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, the Jukes evolved as more of a white R&B horn band. Organized by singer John Lyon, guitarist/songwriter Steve Van Zandt, later of the E Street Band, and Richie Rosenberg, the band is well known for their high-energy live shows and no-holds-barred songs. Their timeless Jersey Shore anthems include “I Don’t Wanna Go Home,” “Havin’ a Party,” “The Fever,” “Talk to Me,” “Trapped Again,” and “This Time It’s For Real.”
