Glen Burtnick is an artist from New Jersey that I always thought should have been the 'next one' from Jersey. He released several solo albums, was a member of Styx for a while, and is part of The Weeklings now.
This was his second album and included a minor hit in "Follow You" (I was at the video shoot in Philadelphia). Songs like "Spinning My Wheels" and "Abelene" are among the best in his catalog. The entire album is very strong; it just didn't get the record label support it needed, imo.

The Princeton Festival was first founded in 2004, beginning its inaugural season in 2005 with four performances of Sondheim's Sweeney Todd in the Kirby Theatre at the Lawrenceville School and a performance by the Concordia Chamber Players. It has since grown to a nearly month-long event featuring opera, musical theater, baroque and chamber music, and a constantly evolving selection of other genres, including dance, world music, orchestral pops, and choral concerts.
