growing up here in Hudson, his take on today’s music scene and new EP. RVO: Where were you born and raised? Schools attended?

RVO: How did your column Jersey Beat come about? JT: Back in 1980, I was hanging out in Maxwell’s and I started writing for my friends’ music publications, Fanzines. I published Jersey Beat out of my house and gave it away for free. I was in a band, The Love Pushers; Jim DeRogotis

RVO: Did Jersey Beat lead to your Jersey Journal column Constant Listener? JT: Yes. The first Constant Listener which started back in the 90s was everything I wanted to write about. I covered U2 and Springsteen concerts. I took a couple years off and (the Jersey Journal) got back in touch. They were looking for an online column; the column I’m doing now. It’s strictly local – Hoboken, Jersey City -- which is a blessing. RVO: How would you describe the local music scene? JT: When it comes to Jersey City everyone has Cont’d on page 4

16 Artists to Pay it Forward at Mana Contemporary in Jersey City Fundraiser to Help People Get Back on their Feet By Sally Deering Sometimes it takes a little help from a friend to make a difference. Contemporary artists, many of whom have experienced ‘between jobs salad days’ know all too well how tough it can be to find employment.

To pay it forward, 16 women artists will be exhibiting their work at the first annual Women in the Arts fundraiser, ART & SOUL, to be held Thurs, May 19, at Mana Contemporary in Jersey City. Proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Hudson County

Chapter of Dress for Success. Art & Soul will feature 16 professional and emerging artists who will showcase paintings, photography, sculpture, and jewelry. They are: Maureen Bennett, Arlene Carenio, Deborah Block, Randy

Cont’d from page 2 to take off their hats and salute Tony Susco of RockIt Docket. He books the shows at Harsimus Cemetery. He’s involved with the local clubs. He’s so important. There’s more energy here in Jersey City than there has been for a long time. For a while there were two bars you could play in. Now it’s just so much better, so much more encouraging for the bands. You walk around downtown Jersey City, it feels like you’re walking around Williamsburg (Brooklyn) ten years ago. The music scene in Hoboken; it’s a very different demographic. It’s hard to live in Hoboken. There isn’t much affordable housing, not like back in the 80s when the entire city was dirt cheap and you could get an apartment for 90 bucks a month. The Bongos and Yo La Tengo lived in Hoboken. There’s definitely still a music scene, and people who live there, and who date back to the old music scene. Hoboken’s a very different

demographic these days, On Washington Street, all you see are baby strollers. It once was bars with sawdust and spittoons. Hoboken in the 80s was a lot more like Hoboken of the 30s, then it is with 2016. RVO: When did you start playing music? JT: When I was a kid I played sax from 5th grade all the way through high school. I played in the school orchestra and marching band. I taught myself guitar in college and played a little guitar in Love Pushers. I took a long time off and focused on writing until about 2000. Then I got the itch and started playing as a singer-songwriter. I did an October concert after/ 9/11; a few people saw me there. Since then I put out two records in 2003 and 2004, I released a few garage band demos. I don’t pursue it full-time, but I’ve been fooling around and playing gigs. RVO: How would you

describe your musical style? JT: I’m a big fan of Phil Ochs, Bob Dylan. Phil Ochs’ motto was ‘all that moves is fit to sing’. He wrote a lot of contemporary protest songs about civil rights and politics. Another singer-songwriter I like is Tom Lehrer. Like Lehrer, I try to entertain you while I make my political point. RVO: Can you tell our readers about your new EP, American Spirits and Artisanal Cheese? JT: I recorded it at Mama Coco’s Funky Kitchen in Brooklyn, a studio run by Oliver Ignatius, who’s in his mid-20s. He built the studio from scratch, I became friends with him and he made a huge difference on the EP. He produced the whole thing, a lot of the reasons it sounds as great as it does is because of Oliver. The first song on the record is No Punk Rock in Bushwick, a reflection of a lot of music I saw. Then there’s Here’s to the State of New

Jersey, a political song about Chris Christie. It was inspired by Bridgegate, before Christie announced he was running for President. I’d Like to Be a Christian is another political song I wrote about right-wing Christianity, and the hypocrisy that breeds hate and intolerance. Two sentimental pieces: St. Mark’s Place, about the changing face of New York City, and how St. Mark’s Place has changed so much; and, a song, Sinatra on the Stereo, which is me remembering when I was growing up, and my father playing his records on Sunday after church and before our big Sunday dinner. It was the first music I was really exposed to music; then I started buying records on my own. One more song, Mr. Trump You’re Fired, is a punk rock song with electric guitar, and with the band The Dreggs. It’s got this sort of Chuck Berry riff, me telling Trump the things I think are wrong with him. RVO: What’s in the future? A book? JT: I would love to collate all the interviews I did. I

interviewed so many great bands, and there’s a lot of great artwork. RVO: How can someone get your music; see you perform? JT: You can buy my EP at jimtesta.bandcamp.com. The record is $5. I’ll be performing on April 23 at Mama Coco in Brooklyn where I recorded the EP. I’m like everybody else, just trying to hold the middle together while the ends fall apart.

ART & SOUL FUNDRAISER FOR DRESS FOR SUCCESS Cont’d from page 3 In addition and in collaboration with the artists, the event will have a “PopUp Shop” where attendees can purchase additional art works. “We are excited about this up-and-coming fundraiser for Dress for Success, Hudson County,” Event Chair Joy Danilin says. “It promises to be wonderful evening of art, style, culture and conversation.” The Mission of Dress for Success is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and tools for success work-world, Tylra Cummings, Executive Director of the Hudson chapter, says. This chapter serves about 1500 people yearly, which means every month 200-300 women are walking through the door for help nailing that job interview. “It’s an agency-referred program,” Cummings says. “We have agencies we partner with like a homeless shelter, church, domestic violence center and

employment, office. People have to be either actively seeking employment, currently unemployed or under-employed. They are referred to Dress for Success where they get their initial interview suiting, which is a suit, a blouse, a pair of shoes and accessories. For the men, it’s a suit, shoes and a tie. Up to 90 percent of Dress for Success’s clothing items are donations from retail stores, private donors, individuals and corporate suit

drives. Many corporations hold suit drives with their employees, too. “We even have Girl Scouts do suit drives for us,” Cummings says. Volunteer Project Manager Gina Irizarry does special Dress for Success projects throughout the year. “I believe in the mission of women empowering other women,” Irizarry says. “Some of these women have never had a real chance for an

education, career, I think that other women are the ones to lead them. And as a woman I feel a connection with these women. I enjoy seeing their progress and seeing them go through the steps to better their lives, make friendships. To help someone and watch them thrive into this strong

independent person. You can’t get that anywhere else.” If you go Thurs, May 19, 6:30-9:30 pm Mana Contemporary 888 Newark Ave, JC (800) 330-9659 www.efsino.org www.SFSinc.org Tickets: $75

A group exhibition opening on the Second Annual International Sculpture Day, (Apr. 24 from 1-6 pm.) “Contemporary sculpture is a medium that forms an intimate connection between the artist’s experience and that of the viewer… Wake the Town and Tell the People is named for the work by Jamaican artist Cosmo Whyte, one of the 18emerging artists working across a dynamic range of materials, from porcelain to plywood and bronze to balloons. Whyte’s piece is a towering eight-and-a-halffoot-tall stack of plywood speakers that arcs like a cresting wave, using ambient sound and music to address themes of post-colonialism and migration. Artist Jamezie will present “…But Will The People Listen?” a performance piece that focuses on the body as not only a means to create sculpture, but sculpture in and of itself. They will invite participants to consider individuality and gender by providing plates to print imagery on their skin. (Jamezie will be performing in the 5th floor gallery among the other works on April 24 and May 1, 3-5 pm.)”

STARGAZINE.April 2016 Aries- March 21 - April 19 A beautiful month with Venus and the Sun in your sign. Ask for and receive benefits in all aspects of your life. You shine with a light of power and everyone seems to notice, accept you! No need to be an egoist but this is a great beginning of your solar year and you have what it takes to succeed.

Leo -July 23 - August 22

Taurus- April 20 - May 20

Virgo -August 23 - Sept. 22

The second house of the solar chart, ruling possessions is the natural home of Taurus. Your enduring efforts to make financial strides and opportunities to succeed are yours at this time. One word of caution, don’t allow your stubborn nature to alienate those that may help your future goals. It’s all good energy for you and your dreams. Dream big!

Gemini- May 21 - June 20

You may reveal a guarded secret unwittingly and someone’s confidence may be violated. Although this is not done intentionally the damage will be just as harsh. So remember the old motto from World War II, “Loose lips might sink ships. ”Know that words are powerful weapons for good or bad and keep your mouth firmly closed in the next weeks.

Cancer -June 21 - July 22

Cancer has the talent and ability to make their home as lovely as the front page of House Beautiful. You create an environment of peace, harmony, and above all a sacred space where family and friends can rest and visit. They put behind the worries of life as they enjoy some special cooked favorites. You have it all, Cancer, the ability to grow a business but never abandon that talent of keeping the warmth of home kindled with love.

What’s it all about, Leo? You have the creative ability to make an outstanding life. Yet, of late, there has been a dark shadow on your personality. Maybe the world’s issues are at times overwhelming. It is time for a spiritual diet of constructive and loving thoughts. Avoid negativity in all forms and you will return to the charismatic strong lion you always were.

Jupiter in your sign is in opposition to Neptune and Venus in Pisces. Not to worry, this aspect will be overcome if you depart from your characteristic of needing to know everything. So don’t ask and don’t tell. Don’t question your good luck. For a moment just enjoy the benefits that have been bestowed upon you. Just for a moment, accept these gifts without question. This could be a great month and the beginning of great years to come.

Libra-Sept. 23 - October 22

-Hello, Jupiter is coming to your sign in October of 2016. Look at your chart and wherever Libra is placed that is where the luck is happening. About every twelve years you have a Jupiter return. Look back in your life twelve years ago and prove the power of the Planet. Get ready for opportunities and luck. Since you are now aware of the potential you are able to optimize your success. Go for the gold!!

Scorpio - October 23 - Nov. 21

Revenge is a dish better severed cold. Although no one is sure where this statement originated it makes perfect sense, especially for the Scorpio native. You need not react so quickly on a perceived hurt. You should with out anger count to one hundred and choose instead to look at things differently. Your Scorpio antennas are always thinking about every motive. This time sit back and allow the full picture to develop. You will find that your initial thoughts were wrong and people really do like you. Accept that fact.

Sagittarius -Nov. 22 - Dec. 21

This Saturn thing brings every day events with deep lessons. Saturn is in Sagittarius until December 2017. So with your high altruistic mind and the knowledge that these lessons won’t last forever you can accept with love and observe the big picture. It is good for the soul, after all. Then when Saturn leaves in 2017 you can celebrate and have a tee shirt that say’s “I survived my Saturn return!!”

Casino in the Park LINCOLN PARK * JERSEY CITY, NJ 201-333-1045 FREE PARKING

Capricorn -Dec. 22 - Jan. 19

The Capricorn native is lazy and does not want to work! Happy April Fool’s Day!!You thrive on achievement and plod along the craggy roads until you reach your goals. This is a great time for growth. Move forward without fear. This is your time for success. You deserve the best!

Aquarius -Jan. 20 - Feb. 18

This is a month of new and exciting events. New home, job, and relationships are in the brew. Allow the astral energy to propel you forward in a most happy way. This is a great time for investing in your future. Enjoy!

Pisces -Feb. 19 - March 20

Your ruler Neptune is always at play in the Pisces persona. Let’s use your Neptunian energy as a powerful tool to inspire others. Let’s minimize the tendency to be in denial of certain facts. The truth shall set you free and you are put on the road to happiness. No longer a martyr you are able to observe without emotion. Finally the truth is a saving grace.
