Makin Waves Alive: James Mastro & The Gold Stars/Renee Maskin, March 8th, Old Franklin Schoolhouse, Metuchen
In a sold-out show, James Mastro and the Gold Stars, plus opener Renee Maskin demonstrated why Franklin Schoolhouse is a special place that focuses on community arts. One of the first things James said to the audience of about 100 as he kicked off his charming, energetic set with his band, the Gold Stars, was, "You're lucky to have a place like this." That's saying a lot because the Hoboken legend's Guitar Bar repair shop and store curates 503 Social Club, a similar space for concerts and art exhibits.
