Mr. Reality
"Mr. Reality"

Released in 1992

Mr. Reality was a band from the Jersey Shore raised on artists like Bruce Springsteen and The Eagles. They had a tremendous fan base along the Shore and played some of my favorite concerts of all-time. This record got them a record deal and a spot on the H.O.R.D.E. festival. The album was all acoustic featuring the trio of Peter Schrer, Gordon Brown, and Rob Tanico. The trio would later form the band Highway 9 and get signed to a major label a second time.
