Bob Burger is a singer-songwriter from Pennsylvania that moved to the Jersey Shore area in the late 1980s. I first saw him when he was a member of the Bobby Bandiera Band. He would later do a regular duo show with Bobby for years.
Burger is an excellent songwriter and often wrote songs with Glen Burtnick. After years of performing Beatle concerts together, Burger and Burtnick would be bandmates in The Weeklings. That band has released several albums and Burger continues to release solo records as well.
This is Bob's first solo record and it's a damn good one.
Each year-end coverage of Makin Waves features "The Dirty Jersey Dozen," a list of the 12 indie Jersey music acts that made the most waves. Two bands that likely would be on the all-time Dirty Jersey list are Gigantic, a Jersey Shore trio inspired by the primal pop of The Pixies and Nirvana, and Alternative Tentacles recording act Buzzkill, also a trio from the days when New Brunswick was the state's best music scene.
