The Bronx Wanderers are in the house this Sunday, May 19, 2019 afternoon at Toms River, NJ’s Grunin Center for the Arts. On this — the first of two sold-out shows on a single day — the group is poised to entertain the Jersey crowd with an appealing selection of tunes ranging from the 1950s all the way to the present day.

The Bronx Wanderers is comprised of a father, Vinny Sr., on lead vocals; his son, Vin A., on keyboards and guitar; and his other son, drummer Nicky “Stix.” Because Nicky just became a father himself last week, Vinny Sr.’s nephew, Alex, is filling in with the band tonight on drums.

Rounding out The Wanderers are three of Vin A. and Nicholas’ high school friends — David Braun on guitar, Joe Bari on sax, and Fernando Tort on bass.

According to Vinny Sr., even though he grew up in the Bronx — where, over the years, he became friends with such famous local residents as Chazz Palminteri, Danny Aiello, and Tony Orlando — once he was older, he decided to cross the river and raise his family in Demarest, located in nearby Bergen County, New Jersey.

Says Vinny Sr. about having such a personal connection to New Jersey, “Hey… New Jersey is my home!”
