With all members hailing from Scotch Plains NJ, it's no wonder that The Broadcasters play to capacity crowds every time they appear at the Stagehouse Tavern in downtown Scotch Plains. Everyone in the band sings and is multi-talented. Their "classic to current" songlist offers a unique blend of edgy classic rock and 80's hits, combined with a cool selection of modern stuff. They are a fixture at the St. Bart's Labor Day Festival every year performing for thousands, where they are usually joined onstage by fellow Scotch Plains native Pat DiNizio of the world famous Smithereens. Don't miss them!!
