The Smithereens continue to be a New Jersey rock and roll staple who, through the best of times and the worst, have come out on top with different sounds, next-door neighbor charm, and a little bit of dumb luck.
Smithereens guitarist Jim Babjak reclines in a lawn chair in a Long Island backyard, puffing on a cigar and relaxing before he performs a livestream concert from the front porch. His bandmates for this show are Gin Blossoms frontman Robin Wilson (whose home this is), Smithereens drummer Dennis Diken, and bassist Graham Maby (of Joe Jackson’s band), playing a “best of” selection of Smithereens songs.
