Our Favorite Stories In Music: Bobby Bandiera Looks Back


New Jersey Stage published its 25,000th story in December 2021. As the site approached the milestone, we posed the question on social media as how we should celebrate.  One response was to highlight our favorite stories from over the years.  We liked this idea, but could not narrow things down to just 25 favorites so we will present a favorite each day from different genres. Every Monday we feature one of our favorite stories in music. Our piece this week is a feature on Bobby Bandiera who was taking a look back at his career in advance of a special show he performed in 2016 that featured his original songs and those of artists he’s shared stages with over the last 30 years.
