TOUCHDOWNS ALL DAY w/ JON BARBER & MAX DAWSON

E090 - "Jake Szufnarowski and The History of The Starland" Few venues hold as fond a place in the hearts of The Disco Biscuits community as The Starland Ballroom. Between 2004 and 2012 the band played 18 shows in "Slayerville," many of which fans regard as amongst the band's finest performances ever. In celebration of the The Disco Biscuits' upcoming return to The Starland, Touchdowns All Day is proud to present "The Jernee Mill Road Back to Sayreville," a three-part miniseries exploring the band's history at this storied venue.


Our guest in this second installment is Jake Szufnarowski of Rocks Off and Bowery Presents, the talent buyer at The Starland Ballroom. Jake first encountered The Disco Biscuits in the late 1990s when he booked New York City's Wetlands Preserve, and he's worked closely with the band members and their various side projects ever since. Jake walks us through The Starland's long history, starting with its origins as a polka hall, continuing through its later incarnations as an 80s hair metal venue and 90s dance club, taking us right up to the venue's current incarnation as American's premier rock and roll roadhouse. He also shares his earliest memories of working with The Disco Biscuits and reflects on the role he played in launching the careers of The New Deal, Lake Trout, STS9, and other jamtronica acts.


Check out Jake's band Trükken, a supercharged, rip roarin’, hard rockin’, heavy metal tribute to the GRATEFUL DEAD!


The 2025 Bubble Tour concludes on March 15, 2025 at The Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ. For the latest Disco Biscuits tour dates, please visit https://www.discobiscuits.com/shows.

Join us June 17-20 at Full Moon Resort in Big Indian, NY for workshops with the band and special guests, live performances, open jam sessions, a live Touchdowns All Day recording, and much, much more.
