A History of The Stone Pony, Where Springsteen Got His Start

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jun 4, 2024

The Stone Pony in Asbury Park has an almost mythical reputation in New Jersey music history. The beachside venue was where a young Bruce Springsteen first got his start, and it was a popular destination for local acts and memorable nights beginning in the 1970s. New York Times reporter Nick Corasaniti has written a new book, I Don't Want To Go Home: The Oral History of The Stone Pony, and he recounts to us what he learned about the storied venue. Plus, we take your calls.

EVENT: Nick will be hosting a ticketed book release party at The Stony Pony on June 8. Doors open at 7pm.
