I'll be broadcasting LIVE from the festival, at Solberg Airport in Readington, NEXT Saturday, July 30, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.!

Steven Tyler...country music artist...who woulda thunk it? Steven Tyler = Aerosmith! "Dream On" is not only one of "Jersey's Favorite Hits," but it was Aerosmith's first Top 10 charting record, landing at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the Spring of 1976...

Its a beautiful, holiday weekend afternoon in New Jersey...spend it with us in Asbury Park! "Sand, Surf, Sun and FUN" are in full effect! As, I'm taking the radio show on the road!
