THE KOOTZ, Rock and Roll with Fiber LIVE OUTDOORS / IN THE DRINK / Wayne
NEW JERSEY S ULTIMATE SINGLE S GROUP WHERE THE FUN NEVER STOPS!
Join us for a fun evening outside as we watch, listen, dance & sing to classic songs performed by THE KOOTZ Live on the patio at IN THE DRINK!
It s the "Rock n Roll with Fiber" world of this group of Jersey-guys and their musical friends , who just can t seem to retire their guitars .... and likely never will!
The collective passion for classic rock, pop, soul and blues... and just plain old making great music has been a driving force..... even a mantra in assembling The Kootz band.
The Kootz hail from Essex, Bergen, Morris, Union, Passaic, Sussex, Monmouth and Ocean Counties ... and have been around for over 15-years, now! That s a pretty long-run for any band!
Starting out in the late 90 s, it all began as a nucleus of 5 or 6 musicians who informally jammed at various member-basements and even played an occasional gig or two... back in the day , the band was called OMJ (short for Old Man Jam )... By 2001 it was unanimously decided by co-founders Chris Bolger and Glenn Taylor with the full-commitment of the other charter-members, Ben Asher, Tony Dente and (the late) Dr. David Frisch... that this fledgling-outfit would try and make a go of it , seeking more exposure and acceptance... as well as gigs!
They continued to hone their repertoire of (mostly) covers of classic rock, pop and blues-tunes from the late 1950 s through the 70 s... staying true to why they originally started playing together in the first place! It was the collective and genuine love of this genre of rock n roll.
OMJ became "The Kootz" in 2002. The re-naming was sort of a self-chuckle... or poke at themselves , based on the fact that most of the members were already over 50 years old; Hence, the "Kootz-Credo", "Rock n Roll With Fiber", is quite-visible on the band s banner, which is hung in plain-sight whenever they perform-live!
The hard work and intensity with-which band-leader Glenny-T publicized the group and began to bear fruit by 2004. He was able to book the band more and more frequently... and the word began to get-around about these old-guys who could really rock! Besides the pubs and clubs... there were private corporate events and municipal concert opportunities that began to appear on the Kootz-plate ! These Northern NJ-guys also started crossing the Driscoll Bridge (or NJ Mason-Dixon Line) a LOT more frequently and began performing at many of the shore-area s hottest venues between Point Pleasant and Long Beach Island... Before-long they were performing over 250 shows-a-year, all-around the tri-state area, as well-as taking to the road for shows in such exotic , far-away destinations as Cape Cod, Cooperstown and Philadelphia!
A fun time that you want want to miss! Come out out and listen to some great rock & roll music, dance, sing and have a good time!
Arrive promptly at 3:00 p.m. to find parking and seating with the group.
