‘They Still Have It!’ Five Things You Should Know About the Long-Awaited Return of John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band
How John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band Returned with a Boost From Bruce Springsteen
John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, the journeyman rockers who brought bar-band authenticity —and hits like the real-life top 10 Billboard Hot 100 smash “On the Dark Side” — to the group portrayed in the 1983 film Eddie and the Cruisers, have returned with Sound of Waves, their first album of all-new songs in 37 years. Beaver Brown, as the band was first known, gained acclaim in the 1970s in East Coast rock clubs, from Narragansett, in Cafferty’s native Rhode Island, to New Haven, Conn., where they were a mainstay at the famed Toad’s Place, to the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, N.J., where kindred spirit Bruce Springsteen jammed with them often. But along with current bassist Dean Cassell, drummer Don Culp, keyboardist Rich McMahon, Cafferty is joined onstage by original guitarist Gary Gramolini (co-producer of the new album) and soulful saxophonist Michael “Tunes” Antunes — who will turn 85 years old in August.
