Roxanne Shante Talks LL Cool J’s Rock the Bells - ‘Generationally, It Checks All the Boxes’

4 days ago | theaquarian.com | Debra Kate Schafer

As the good-natured SiriusXM DJ and Grammy-winning rapper said, it’s “the countdown to the throw down” for us here in New Jersey. Roxanne Shante has done more for popular culture and the overarching musical lexicon than many people give her credit for. There was a point in her life where one of her diss tracks could, and would, knock you down. She learned to read lips and leaned into the wild moments around the Big Apple that she, as a stylist, got herself into.
Newcomer Susannah Joffe Adds Southern Charm to New Pop EP

6 days ago | theaquarian.com | Robert Frezza

She is headlining her first tour. She is featured in The Aquarian. She is on her way to 1.5 million monthly listeners. This is Susannah’s moment. Susannah Joffe is not your average pop star. Her music, although original, feels familiar, as it is rooted in her natural southern charm, but her style is edgy and sexy all at the same time. There are layers to this rising star. Joffe, raised down south with a strict upbringing, wanted to break free from all that, and she has done that all on her own accord.

It’s a new week for the Welcome to Rockville series, and, a hot one at that! Once again, with interviews done in-person across the four-day Daytona festival, there was a ton of scorching hardcore ground to cover. And that we did. Just a couple of months ago, a band we have been friends with for quite a long time returned with a new record.

Third Eye Blind & Their Grateful Sense of Community

1 week ago | theaquarian.com | Debra Kate Schafer

By the end of this week, 3EB will be able to check off playing yet another New Jersey venue – this time, the lovely NJPAC. The last time we interviewed Third Eye Blind was for a cover story in 2017, and we spoke to frontman Stephan Jenkins about everything from stage to surf (two well-known loves of his). They were about to rock PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel for their annual Summer Gods tour. A couple of years before that, the band took some time to hit up The Stone Pony in Asbury Park.
A Quiet Celebration: The Opening Night of Paul Simon at the Beacon Theatre / June 16, 2025

1 week ago | theaquarian.com | Everynight Charley Crespo

Increasingly, as many entertainers reach their senior years, retirement tours are on the rise. Retirement does not always prove to be the glory that it was imagined to be, however. In numerous cases, after a few years of relative silence, entertainers return to their craft and to the road to perform before live audiences. Purported to be his last-ever live performance, Paul Simon’s Homeward Bound Farewell Tour in 2018 ended in front of some 30,000 cheering fans at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park.
Three Days Grace Kept It Real at Rockville ★

One whole week of features with Welcome to Rockville bands has come and gone. There are so many! We conducted a slew of interviews in-person across the four-day Daytona, Florida festival, and none are to be forgotten – especially this one with 3DG, who are gearing up for quite the massive summer with a new album out August 22. Three Days Grace had one of the most memorable sets at Welcome to Rockville. It was triumphant to say the least.
The Wandering Hearts’ Uniquely Twinkling Take On CSN&Y

1 week ago | theaquarian.com | Debra Kate Schafer

Presenting the melodic magic of nostalgia… and physical records. This world might not be as sunny as we’d like it to be, but when The Wandering Hearts are releasing new music, sunshine reappears with a brightness and a warmth like no other. Not to mention that the music is already well-known and well-loved, viable in a truly generation-spanning folk rock way.
