Jersey Rock Artist of the Week: Kenny Dubman
New EP “Kentucky Breeze” Available Now!
Kenny Dubman quietly released his new EP “Kentucky Breeze” last week.ย That’s probably the only thing quiet about this killer a six-song guitar-driven release.ย Speaking of his latest creative effort, Dubman said:
“The new EP “Kentucky Breeze” is a collection of 6 songs, 4 of which are brand new. The title track is kind of an experimental departure for me, though it wasn’t intended to be so. I guess it’s a stroke of luck that it turned out to get the best response, by far, of any song I’ve written to date. I finally got to record a full band version of “She Falls Hard”, which I’ve been wanting to do for years, and it came it exceptionally well! Also included is the original version of “Ain’t Too Late For Memphis”, off my first record, in hopes that it’ll get a bit more traction this time around. I think listeners are really gonna dig this new collection.”

The ne EP will comes equipped with an ambitious music video roll-out.ย Almost every song on the release will get the video treatment.ย Speaking of the effort, Dubman said:
โThere are 4 videos to accompany 4 of the six tracks on Kentucky Breeze. Listeners might recognize 2 of themโฆone is โAinโt Too Late For Memphisโ from my first album, and one is a full band version of โShe Falls Hardโ from my second record, which Iโve been wanting to do for years. It came out phenomenally well! My good buddy Matt Oโree helped round out the band for these video shoots.โ

Recently, I was bombarded with suggestions to redo my Jersey hot dog list. Iโm no hot dog expert, but I do love a good hot dog.
I hit the food pages on social media specifically asking the expert hot dog fans to suggest places that may have been left off last yearโs lists.
I was hit with hundreds of comments, emails, private messages and even phone calls.
Here Is Part One Of The Ultimate Hot Dog Joints Listย
Most of the people who reached out to me were respectful and dare I say very nice. There were a handful of people who chose some strong language while taking me to task for either not including their favorites, or for including places they deemed inferior.
I took it on the chin and remained optimistic. In this quest of gathering information and suggestions, I realized that I love hot dogs more than I thought.

My paternal grandparents lived in Brooklyn and took me to Nathanโs on Coney Island more times than I can count. I always looked forward to those trips to Nathanโs. Every first bite was sheer delight. The snap you get the minute you bite into Nathanโs hot dog is like no other hot dog Iโve ever had during my childhood.
While at home on Long Island, my mother always bought Hebrew National hot dogs because thatโs all my maternal grandmother would allow when my mother was growing up.
