Bruce Springsteen is best known for hit songs like “Born to Run,” “Dancing in the Dark,” “Glory Days” and “Born in the U.S.A,” but he’s also known as one of New Jersey’s favorite sons. Of course, Springsteen isn’t the only famous artist to come out of the Garden State - so with that in mind, here are the 25 best musical acts from New Jersey.
David Cassidy
Although David Cassidy was born in New York City, he was primarily raised by his grandparents in West Orange, New Jersey. Cassidy’s parents divorced when David was just a kid, but his father’s subsequent marriage to Shirley Jones led to the formation of the Partridge Family band and TV sitcom, in which David played Keith Partridge. After his stint as a teen idol, Cassidy continued to perform regularly into the ‘80s and ‘90s, and sporadically after that, holding his final concert just months before his November 2017 death at the age of 67.
