The Smithereens

Friday, January 22, 2027 · 7:30 PM

Inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame and celebrated as one of America's most enduring power-pop and rock institutions, The Smithereens have delivered muscular, melodic rock for over four decades. Built on ringing guitar riffs, British Invasion hooks, and garage-rock drive, founding members Jim Babjak, Mike Mesaros, and Dennis Diken, alongside guest vocalists Robin Wilson (Gin Blossoms) and Marshall Crenshaw, continue the band's rich legacy. Featuring timeless MTV and modern rock classics like "A Girl Like You," "Blood and Roses," and "Only a Memory," The Smithereens deliver a high-octane, hit-packed live performance rooted in raw energy and pure songcraft. Jimmy's features a full-service restaurant, and food is available for purchase at every performance. Doors open at 5:30 PM, when you can order dinner directly from your ticketed seat, no separate dinner reservations needed! Kitchen service runs from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM.
