SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY AND THE ASBURY JUKES

Two nights, two very different sets from Southside Johnny this weekend. On Friday, the sultan of Jersey Shore rock will break out "rare Jukes," and deep cuts from his 40 years of songwriting. On Saturday, Johnny fronts the Jukes as a Springsteen cover band, playing all the old Boss songs. Springsteen and Southside shared the stage in January, at the annual Light of Day concert at the Paramount Theatre. Shows are Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m.; The Stone Pony, 913 Ocean Ave., Asbury Park; Tickets are $45 for Friday's show, available here.
