Brian Fallon announces surprise NJ show

Jersey has been seeing a lot of Brian Fallon lately.

Fallon, the once-and-future frontman of central Jersey rock heroes the Gaslight Anthem, will play a surprise in-store show 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 10, at Vintage Vinyl in the Fords section of Woodbridge.

A Red Bank native and Hackettstown High School graduate, Fallon famously played Vintage Vinyl a decade ago when with the Gaslight Anthem when the band released its breakthrough 2008 LP "The '59 Sound."

On Sunday, Jan. 14, Fallon delivered a riveting solo acoustic show on the Asbury Park Press Stage at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank.

For access to Fallon's Feb. 10 Vintage Vinyl show, potential attendees must first pre-order a copy of "Sleepwalkers," Fallon's Feb. 9 solo album, on either CD ($13.99) or LP ($24.99) and then receive the wristband required for entry.

Each physical of copy of "Sleepwalkers" purchased through Vintage Vinyl includes one wristband, and every attendee must have their own wristband.

Vintage Vinyl is at 51 Lafayette Road in Fords. For more information, call 732-225-7717 or visit vvinyl.com.

Brian Fallon and his latest backing band, the Howling Weather, play Starland Ballroom, 570 Jernee Mill Road, Sayreville, at 7 p.m. Sunday, April 29.

Tickets for the Starland show, $25 in advance and $30 day of the show, are available through 732-238-5500 or www.starlandballroom.com.

Fallon will reunite with the Gaslight Anthem to play "The '59 Sound" in its entirety as part of the Governors Ball Music Festival, happening June 1 to 3 at Randall's Island Park in New York City.

Three-day general admission tickets for Governors Ball, priced at $305, are available, as well as VIP packages starting at $705, at www.governorsballmusicfestival.com/tickets.
