The following is a link to an exclusive interview with Bobby Bandiera, local
Jersey music hero, where he discusses how his music career began, the struggles
and achievements that have been a part of his solo efforts, and how great
friendships and working relationships with rock superstars like Southside
Johnny, Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi effect his life on a professional as
well as a personal level. In this interview Bobby also reacts to the
outpouring of support after the announcement of 'The Hope Concert,' a benefit
show organized to help raise funds for his son who requires around the clock
medical attention. This is an interesting look at this local Jersey hero for
any music fan, as you will read his life is not so different from any one of
ours.
