Current Press Release

TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Library Stafford Branch is pleased to present Phil Bruschi’s live performance and discussion, “The Brylcreem Boys – Singers of Early Rock & Roll,” 2 PM Tuesday, May 3.

The multi-talented singer and storyteller turns back time to the late ‘50s and early ‘60s, when teen singing idols in slick pompadour haircuts lip-synced their hits on television shows and in clubs, resorts, school gyms, amusement parks, and films.

Attendees will learn little-known details about Paul Anka, Bobby Darin, Neil Sedaka, Dion DiMucci, Bobby Vee, Bobby Rydell, Freddy Cannon, Jimmy Clanton, Gene Pitney, and Frankie Avalon, and will ear Phil perform many of their best-known hits.

Phil will also invite audience members to share their own experiences and knowledge of the pre-Beatles pop music era.
