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.
It’s been a long and wild ride.
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.
As Cafferty recounts, after listening to a greatest hits collection released by the band in 2022, Springsteen encouraged him to write new songs. “Bruce reached out to me, a few years back,” says Cafferty. “He was riding around listening to a bunch of the songs and thought I should take another shot at it.”
The band, which has toured continuously across the decades, has a series of summer dates on the books, opening for Rick Springfield on the I Want The ’80s Tour, beginning May 28 in Clearwater, Fla. They play the North to Shore Festival in Asbury Park on June 27 and have shows planned through the rest of the year.
