Photo of Garden State, the Jersey Shore Sound Garden State, the Jersey Shore Sound "Review of Garden State band performance during the opening of the Doelum Live season 25/26 29 September 2025. Garden State delivered a convincing and heartwarming concert at Doelum Live. The combination of a tight band, strong vocals and an enthusiastic audience made this Sunday afternoon a celebration for lovers of the energetic, melodious Jersey Shore Sound. With their craftsmanship and their ability to literally get people moving, Garden State proved that they can make a stage of any size vibrate. Anyone who was not there has undoubtedly missed a lively concert afternoon."
