Brian Kirk and the Jirks, is a notorious cover band hailing from the Jersey Shore, (think more of the “Bruce” kind of Jersey Shore, not the “Snooki” Jersey Shore). They are well known for their Sunday residency at Donovan’s Reef in Sea Bright, NJ. Formed in the early 1990s by lead singer, Brian Kirk, the band covers all styles of music from rock to pop, oldies to reggae, and standards to swing. An extremely diverse repertoire of covers is complimented by their original music, including songs from their albums Hangover Mondays and more recently, American Life In the Summertime.
Not only have they headlined with national acts such as Tonic and Better Than Ezra, and have shared the stage with legendary drummer T.M. Steven and bassist Bernard Purdy from the James Brown Band, but check out this guest appearance by none other than Bruce Springsteen himself from Labor Day, 2001:
