Bon Jovis David Bryan Jams at the Stone Pony
The renowned Asbury Park, NJ rock club, The Stone Pony, has a long tradition
as one of the top music venues in the northeastern U.S. Southside Johnny
and the Asbury Jukes was once the clubs house band and Bruce Springsteen
jammed there dozens of times. Last June, Bon Jovi keyboardist David Bryan,
performing on a Yamaha Clavinova CVP105 digital piano, rocked The Stone
Pony with Samhill, an up-and-coming band. Lee Mrowicki, general manager
of Freehold Music Center in Freehold, NJ, chose the Clavinova CVP105 digital
piano for Bryans performance. It has all the features a professional
musician would need, says Mrowicki. The CVP105 is a great
instrument for home or onstage use. And since The Stone Ponys PA
system could handle the amplification, the CVP105 was truly a perfect
fit. It gave David the superb action, sound, and feel of an acoustic piano.In
addition to Springsteen and Southside Johnny, The Stone Pony has a rich
30-year history of performances by such rock and rollers as the Smithereens,
Gary US Bonds, and John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band. Its
a place where they play with friends, or by themselves, or just go to
hang out, says Mrowicki. Approximately 500 fans attended Bryans
performance with Samhill. The show was broadcast live on the Internet
and can be seen and heard, in streamingvideo, by visiting http://www.stoneponyonline.com.
A worldwide tour celebrating Bon Jovis newest release, Crush, started
in Japan, then moved on to Europe and will reach North America and Australia
in Fall 2000.
