The veteran New Jersey rockers were joined by both of their lead vocalists, Marshall Crenshaw and Robin Wilson, for a stellar performance at Sony Hall in midtown Manhattan on Friday, April 29th.
That the last two years have been unkind to live music might be the understatement of the season. Bands who thrived on live performance were forced to hunker down, ride out the unavoidable pandemic pause, and wait until the proverbial “numbers” came down before performing in front of actual people again.
The Smithereens kick of their 2019 tour with a stop Tupelo Music Hall in NH. The band consisted of original members Jim Babjak (guitar), Mike Mesaros (bass), Denise Diken (drums) and guest vocalist Robin Wilson, lead singer of the Gin Blossoms.
