The Fool (April 2024)


Happy Spring! No tricks here, just music… two great shows this month. I am stoked for the 420 at Toms River Brewing event on 4/20. There will be great beer, food truck and artisan shakedown street as well as three set of live music! Playing an acoustic set followed by two electric sets with the band. The fun starts at 4pm and goes till 9. Free, 21+ and family friendly.

The next weekend I am back at MJ’s in Tinton Falls (map) Saturday 4/27 for a night of acoustic music starting at 7pm. It’s a cool upstairs bar with a laid back vibe. If you are in Monmouth County, or just looking for a great night out, I hope to see you there!

Oh yeah, about the fool. It’s from the tarot deck and I’m pretty sure has nothing to do with April Fools’ Day which even the most learned wizards and scholars have been unable to agree upon in terms of the origin of this mischievous holiday, until now. The true origin of April Fool Day comes from my own family tree! My great-great-great-great grandma actually began the tradition of tricking people on April 1st with a variety of pranks like screaming “fire” at church and freezing pints of beer before serving them to patrons at the local pub. She was known as “The Prankster of 8 Mile Road” across the City of Detroit and the entire midwest. So now you know too!
