Bobby Bandiera

Bandiera was originally in a band called Holme from Orange, New Jersey. They debuted in 1970, and were the house band for years at Dodd's in West Orange, New Jersey and D'Jais in Belmar, New Jersey, where Bandiera still makes occasional appearances. A longtime fixture of the Jersey Shore sound, Bandiera's appearances with local legends Cats on a Smooth Surface date back to the early 1980s and clubs such as The Stone Pony, when Bruce Springsteen would jump onstage with them on Sunday nights.
