Get ready for an unforgettable night featuring Steve Conte, Joy Buzzer, The Jellybricks and The Midnight Callers— four dynamic acts keeping the spirit of real rock 'n' roll alive and loud.

ARTIST LINEUP:

Steve Conte - Known for his work with the New York Dolls and Michael Monroe, Steve Conte brings his signature swagger, soul, and fierce rock ‘n’ roll energy to the stage with his latest solo project. His new album, The Concrete Jangle, (Wicked Cool Records) is a collaboration with XTC’s Andy Partridge, blending Conte’s raw edge with Partridge’s unique musical vision. A mainstay on Little Steven’s Underground Garage, Conte’s live shows are consistently electrifying—intense, unforgettable, and full of heart.

Joy BuzzerBorn from the heart of NYC’s rock scene, Joy Buzzer delivers hook-packed power pop with sharp songwriting and infectious energy. Featuring members of The Lord Calverts and The Doppel Gang, their 2024 debut album Pleased to Meet You (Wicked Cool Records) channels the spirit of Fountains of Wayne, XTC, and Badfinger. With tight harmonies, witty lyrics, and a sound that’s both classic and fresh, they’re quickly becoming a new favorite on Little Steven’s Underground Garage.

The JellybricksHailing from Pennsylvania, The Jellybricks deliver smart, hook-laden rock with a timeless power pop punch. Their latest album, Dreaming in Stereo, (Wicked Cool Records) highlights the band’s knack for harmony-rich melodies and sharp, melodic songwriting. A favorite on Little Steven’s Underground Garage, The Jellybricks continue to turn heads with their energetic live shows and classic-meets-modern sound.

What do Little Richard, The White Stripes, Darlene Love, The Beatles, and The Ramones have in common? Little Steven’s Underground Garage! Maximum Rock and Soul!

In April of 2002 Stevie Van Zandt launched Little Steven’s Underground Garage, his internationally syndicated terrestrial Rock and Soul radio show. Each week Little Steven takes audiences on a two hour trip through all 60 years of Rock and Roll, and it's roots. Not only does The Underground Garage play the coolest Rock records ever made, but it has helped introduce over 1000 new bands throughout the history of the show including The White Stripes, The Strokes, The Hives, Arcade Fire, Gaslight Anthem, The Black Keys, Rival Sons, and more to an international audience. Over 40% of the format is dedicated to new music and emerging artists.

The show also features pop culture history, Steven’s anecdotes, fun facts, and occasional interviews. It is broadcast on over 80 stations in 200 plus markets, including internationally in Canada, UK, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Sweden, Belgium, Peru, and Australia, as well as worldwide on the American Forces Network and Voice of America.

Over 1000 consecutive weekly episodes have aired and have included such special guests as Jack Black, Brian Wilson, Ray Davies, Peter Wolf, Iggy Pop, Ringo Starr, Keith Richards, Paul McCartney, and Bruce Springsteen, and has been endorsed by legends like David Bowie, Pete Townshend, Lou Reed, Ozzy Osbourne, Joan Jett, Robert Plant, James Hetfield, Debbie Harry and many, many others.

The success of the radio show has allowed Little Steven’s Underground Garage to expand beyond the world of radio into television, live events, albums, satellite radio, and more.

In 2003, after the success of “Little Steven's Underground Garage,” the newly launched Sirius Satellite Radio recruited Steven to create it's FIRST original content. He would start the service's first 24/7 branded music channels, while also continuing to record his syndicated terrestrial show. One channel was “The Underground Garage.” Stylistically the format is a continuation of the syndicated terrestrial show. While radio was turning towards computer generated playlists, Steven would go in the complete opposite direction and hire Rock and Roll personalities from various backgrounds as DJ's to add their own stories and anecdotes to the music.
