Meet Bryan Hansen Band, hailing from Central New Jersey (it does exist). Their music, as defined by Lenny Green of WBLS, is a soulful concoction dubbed "Blue Eyed Soul," blending funky rhythms with bluesy vibes and soulful melodies.

From the Jersey Shore to iconic venues like Bowery Electric NYC and the House of Blues Anaheim, these guys have been Making America Funk Again. They've even graced the legendary Troubadour in West Hollywood and been featured at Winter NAMM 2020 & 2024 and SoFar Sounds D.C. & NYC.

From their debut EP in 2009 Ebb & Flow EP 2009, the band has released 4 LP's including Brothers Among Wolves 2013, When You Stop Pulling Back 2016, Gas Money 2019 and most recently, Jammin with Dr. Fong LP 2024.

Check out their latest album, 'Jammin with Dr. Fong' available on all streaming platforms.

Joe Cirotti Trio, a well-oiled string band from the shadows of Northwest Jersey’s Appalachian ridge, fuses their multi-instrumentalist upbringings with a passion for the roots of American folk, jazz, country, and bluegrass. Their bond is rooted in proximity, strengthened by a blue-collar passion for picking, and buoyed by their shared propensity for roots music and whiskey.

Formed in 2015, the current line-up of Joe Cirotti: guitar, Pete Lister: upright bass, and Timmy Coyle: mandolin and guitar, continues to craft a sound steeped in tradition yet infused with modern twists.

The group also occasionally plays as a 4/5-piece ensemble, adding banjo, fiddle, dobro, percussion, or even more mandolin, often joined by founding member Mike Alexander.

Joe Cirotti Trio has become a fixture at premier area venues across the NWNJ area, and is booking into the summer and fall across a wider area. Their debut release, “Joe Cirotti Trio”, launched on CD and Vinyl in December 2023, and streaming on all major platforms.

They find common musical ground in influences like Doc Watson, Tony Rice, and Garcia/Grisman, but also as diverse as Django Reinhardt, Pink Floyd, and Van Halen. This stirs up a one-of-a-kind blend of Americana, bluegrass, alt-country, and gypsy jazz, and acoustic pop.

Charlie Don’t Surf was created by Jeff and Pete, long time partners in Mobius Strip.  Wanting to create funky, earthy jam music they searched for a drummer and the right one found them.  Or more appropriately, they found each other.

Andrew, delivering a keg to their studio, admired the vintage “half stacks” and conversation led to a jam, the musical connection immediate.  Looking for the right bass player to bring it home found Christian, a jazzy, funky player, the unit complete.

Charlie Don’t Surf covers funky songs and if a choice is not funky the band funks it up. Charlie “does the song” but “does it our way.” Jamming, flipping the beat around, “pushing the one” is what the band is about.

All write songs but Charlie Don’t Surf is an “original cover band” that covers the song but makes it their own, creatively satisfying for them and their audience.

Diamond Eye Jack celebrates the music and community of the Grateful Dead, bringing the energy of the 1970s-era Grateful Dead and JRAD to the entire catalogue of Dead, Jerry Garcia Band and all the blues, rock, country and R&B cover songs played by the bands throughout their careers. Crowds are gathering from across New Jersey and Pennsylvania to hear the band's unique performances, led by lead guitarist Luke Youngman, who masterfully evokes the pure essence and tone of Jerry Garcia. This talented band's ability to recreate that unique feeling of being at a Grateful Dead concert through their improvisational set lists, exploratory jams, crisp harmonies, and powerful rhythm section is something that all Dead Heads and live music fans should experience. At many of their shows, you can often shop at the "Shakedown Street" vendors that follow the band. Each show is unique, but one constant is the fun the band is having on stage playing the music of this iconic band and making it their own.

🍁 The Spare Waltz — Life Is a Carnival

Every Thanksgiving, music lovers return to The Last Waltz — The Band’s legendary farewell concert filmed by Martin Scorsese in 1976. More than just a performance, it was a homecoming — a gathering of family, friends, and heroes giving thanks through song. It’s become a Thanksgiving ritual because it captures something timeless: gratitude, connection, and the joy of creating together.

Six years ago, that same spirit took hold in New Jersey. A group of friends and fellow musicians — many of whom gathered monthly at Pizza Jam, hosted by Captain Tom Ruegg and, by extension, The Spare Tire Band — decided to make their own version of that legendary night. What began as the band’s monthly rehearsal had quietly evolved into a community: part jam session, part family reunion.

It was Rick Krueger, guitarist and vocalist from The Spare Tire Band, who suggested the band tackle The Last Waltz and create their own version — A Spare Waltz. And so, The Spare Waltz was born in Captain’s living room in 2018.

Since that night, the tradition has grown in both scale and spirit. The music got louder, the friendships deeper, and the family wider. The Spare Waltz has become more than a concert — it’s a living, breathing celebration of the musicians and friends who keep New Jersey’s roots music scene alive. Around here, life is a carnival, and everyone’s welcome under the tent.

Now in its sixth iteration, The Spare Waltz comes to The Pattenburg House, where we’ll stretch the setlist, welcome back familiar faces, and invite a few new friends to keep the tradition rolling.

Come hungry for music and dinner — a Thanksgiving buffet is included with every ticket.
