The Players Championship -- 1999

NOTE: Southside Johnnie and Eddie Money joined the Voices of Classic Roc for a special appearance at the Players Championship Party/Concert at the Marriott Hotel, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL in March 1999. This event was cybercast (audio and video) over the internet and was chronicled by a photographer. It was a GREAT party!!

"The World's Greatest Bar Band"

More than 100 different artists can claim to have been part of The Jukes at one time or another. Artists like Bruce Springsteen, Max Weinberg and Jon Bon Jovi have been known to show up to play with the band.

There are two constants with the Jukes. First they are always led by the vocals of "Southside" Johnny Lyon, who also plays harmonica on many songs. The other constant is the Miami Horns, which are led by the flamboyant Richard "Labamba" Rosenberg on Trombone. Lead guitar was originally played by Billy Rush back when "Miami" Steve Van Zant wrote and produced for the band. Rush also shared vocals with Southside Johnny on some tracks. Lead Guitar is now played by Bobby Bandiera who also gets a chance to sing some of his own songs with the Jukes during most shows.

Southside Johnny continues to tour, playing 'bars' up and down the United States East Coast
