At the end of the month, Jersey Shore singer-songwriter Dave Vargo will release “Fault Lines,” the second single from his forthcoming third album. But New Jersey Stage has a sneak peek now as the Makin Waves Song of the Week. 

As the Makin Waves Song of the Week, “Fault Lines” also can be heard between 6 and 8 p.m. on Oct. 8 on “Radio Jersey” at ThePenguinRocks.com

Then you can see Dave during his weekly #2forTuesday steam at 7:30 pm Oct. 12 on Facebook Live with special guest Pat Guadagno, a fellow troubadour from the Jersey Shore. There, Dave’s likely to play his next album’s last single, the inspiring societal anthem “Half Bad.”
