Whether opening for Bon Jovi in forepart of 20,000 people or rockin' with a stacked lineup of local greats, Bobby Mahoney & the Seventh Son are as comfortable onstage equally near people are in their lounge chairs. But oh, how and so much more than productive, having released a record a twelvemonth since 2010 — the latest of which, a self-titled ten-song outing, was released in the spring just weeks before the ring opened for Bon Jovi at Prudential Center in Newark. Then, a couple of weeks later on that, Mahoney opened for the Jersey Rock and Whorl Hall of Famers once again equally a guitarist in Williams Honour, a Jersey Shore/Nashville state duo with whom he occasionally performs.
Next upward for Mahoney are hot Asbury dates on Aug. 29 with Levy & the Oaks at Asbury Park Live on the Boardwalk'southward First Avenue Green; opening for The Vaughns at their Summertime Splash on Aug. 30 at House of Independents (likewise with Levy & the Oaks, as well as Avery Mandeville & the Man Devils); and "A Celebration of the Jersey Sound," a tribute to the influence of The Clash and Bruce Springsteen on such fellow well-rooted punk-inspired acts as The Vansaders, The Cryptkeeper Five and Chris Brown, Sept. seven at Asbury Park Yacht Club. Those shows follow some exciting recordings with Jesse Malin producer Derek Cruz and Joe "Pom" Pomarico, an engineer at Atlantic Records Studios and co-possessor of Holmdel-based Telegraph Hill Records.
On behalf of 7th Son drummer James McIntosh, guitarist Andrew Saul and bassist Jon Chang-Presently, Mahoney shared the thrill of what has been his best year, along with plans for the rest of information technology. Bask!
Q: You are one of the hardest-working musicians in New Bailiwick of jersey. What fuels your passion for the music?
A: I love writing songs and playing live, and I'd similar to do so for a long fourth dimension. The fuel is just knowing how hard we demand to work in order to practise and so. Garland Jeffreys once told me to do at to the lowest degree ane thing a solar day to further my career — whether it'southward write a vocal or book a show or learn something new. I took that to heart and try to stick to that. The adrenaline of live shows is definitely something I'm chasing too.

Bobby Mahoney and the Seventh Son with Jon Bon Jovi backstage, at the Prudential Heart in Newark.
Q: What was your favorite part of opening for Bon Jovi with the Seventh Son at Prudential Center in Newark and with Williams Honour at Madison Foursquare Garden in New York Metropolis this spring?
A: I loved playing to twenty,000 people, and having it experience both like an insane dream, while too strangely normal and Zen. Every bit a musician, you imagine walking upwards those steps out onto that stage a meg times every bit a kid, merely when the moment comes to actually do it, it felt like every other testify, which was bully because we were comfy and were able to do our job. Talking to Jon about Asbury Park music was surreal and crawly, too. I also liked the chocolate fountain in catering.
Q: Afterward that, you lot seemed to crash-land to headlining not merely the Stone Pony but Business firm of Independents and other venues as well. How else did those Bon Jovi gigs bear on your career?
A: We had already headlined both of those clubs prior to opening for Bon Jovi. That gig got united states of america a lot of printing and exposure, and we got to showcase our songs to more people at once than nosotros ever have, but it wasn't going to define united states every bit a band. It was a dream come true and an honor, but we gave it the same passion that we give at HOI or the Pony or a basement show. I recall it might accept given us some more than legitimacy, and we have enjoyed a skilful social media fasten. It was a great gig, and I hope we tin can play in a room like that again soon.
Q: You lot are returning to HOI equally an opener for The Vaughns' Summer Splash and so playing near a week after at Asbury Park Yacht Club for Makin Waves' "Celebration of the Jersey Sound," which I consider to be inspired by The Clash and Bruce Springsteen. How and why did Bruce and The Clash influence you?
A: Those will both be neat gigs with awesome lineups. I'k excited to play with so many of our talented friends!
Seeing Bruce live for the get-go time when I was 12 changed my life. His stage presence and songwriting inspire me to this day. Merely nearly strikingly, his and Strummer's songs are all songs with messages and something they felt was important to say — and that impacted me as well. Bruce was living proof that a child from New Jersey with a guitar could make an impact, so that definitely was important for me equally a immature musician.
Q: How did growing up in Eastward Brunswick influence you musically?
A: I was in the East Brunswick band program from fifth grade until graduation — trombone and double bass — and I played guitar in the Churchill (Junior High School) and High School Jazz bands. I participated in Drama Club (pit musician, crew, "Officer Krupke") and won "EB Teen Idol." E Brunswick has an amazing arts department and without all the performance, music theory and tech classes, I probably wouldn't be the musician I am today. There were also a lot of slap-up bands that would play Churchill Alive and that atmosphere pushed me and too introduced me to the people who would later outset 7th Son.
Q: Do you still live in EB or did y'all move closer to AP?
A: Notwithstanding here! Exit 9, baby!
Q: Who are in the 7th Son, for how long, and what instrument exercise they play?
A: James McIntosh, drums since 2014; Andrew Saul, guitar since 2015, and Jon Chang-Presently, bass since 2018. We likewise occasionally take Zack Sandler on saxophone with u.s.a. on a few tunes! He's currently killing information technology as Remember Jones' bout manager! He's an honorary member for sure.
Q: From where does the name Seventh Son come and how does it utilise to the band?
A: Jon Alba, Seventh Son guitarist and co-songwriter from 2011 to 2015, suggested it, afterward a line in AC/DC's "Bad Boy Boogie." I've equated it to the rock 'n' ringlet spirit, and it keeps us with our hard rock 'north' roll roots.
Q: You are quite prolific, averaging a release a year for the by six years. Do you write all of your songs in their entirety? If not, have you ever run into copyright problems with quondam members of the Seventh Son?
A: I write some by myself entirely, but I also accept co-written with Jon Alba, Dan Cohen, and most recently Derek Cruz (Jesse Malin) co-wrote and is producing a new vocal we are recording with Pom (Joe Pomarico). Proper credit is given when due and there haven't been whatsoever issues.
Q: How did the recordings go with Pom, when and how will they be released, and will you exist doing boosted recordings with him?
A: So far, and so great! Joe is awesome, and we are recording a new song or two with him, and Derek is producing. All TBA. Not rushing. Nosotros take a lot of material out there. Going to accept our time and continue playing out live.
Q: What else are you up to through the end of the twelvemonth in terms of local shows, touring, videos and annihilation else you lot desire to let folks know is coming up and going on?
A: We are booking a bout for October, hit some of our favorite out-of-state spots and some new ones also. Probably less local shows than we had this summertime, but we will have some large local announcements coming shortly, too.
Q: Is there anything I didn't enquire on which yous would like to annotate?
A: Thanks for including me and for all the back up over the years!
