He’s a mover, a shaker; a go-to guru and a “Maharishi of Make It So.” He’s seldom seen in the spotlight, but he’s seen the biz from both sides now, be it in the backing band (that’s him on the second LP by the Asbury Jukes) or in the front office.
In today’s edition of Red Bank oRBit, we track down Tony Pallagrosi (left) for a rare Friday feature interview, as he and Concerts East partner Jerry Bakal visit NovelTeas Authors Aromas & Gifts on Bridge Ave for an ultimate-insider talk on the Big Beat — the bands, the bars, the biz, the beef and the ballyhoo. Not to mention such burgeoning projects as the annual Light of Day benefit concerts.
This being a particularly busy weekend on the Shore springscape, we’ve got lots more to call your attention to — including a highly anticipated fundraiser for former Red Bank neighbor Cheri Jiosne in Asbury Park; a close-up performance by Brian OÂ’Halloran of Clerks fame (who we understand wasn’t even supposed to be here), a special appearance by film composer and fright-flick aficionado Christopher (HELLRAISER) Young and scores more, all of it here in Red Bank oRBit!
