Jon Caspi has been a mainstay in the national college radio and NJ music scenes.
His latest full-length album is a more aggressive punk/indie effort that will be out in early October 2010.
His debut solo CD, This Town, was officially released in January 2005, and has been played on radio across the country (over 170 stations!). August 2006 saw the release of his second CD, I'm Not Angry.Anymore, which also received radioplay and has received critical acclaim. The album received a 2006 Asbury Music Award nomination as one of the Top Local Releases of the year. A song from the album, "Smile" was nominated for Song of the Year, and The Jon Caspi Band also received a nomination for Top Pop Band. In 2007, the Jon Caspi Band were nominated for an Asbury Music Award in the category of "Top Pop Band." In 2008 Jon's 3rd solo album titled "Eddie Knows!" A Novel was released. The album "reads like a novel" and is a story from beginning to end, with each song representing an individual chapter. It was turned into a multimedia-musical theater performance with a theater in Asbury Park and both shows sold out.
Other recent accomplishments include Jon's song, "Eight Days" being named as the BEST HANUKAH SONG OF 2005 by the Boston Herald and the Daily News Tribune! The Jon Caspi Band was also listed in 2006 as one of Jetty Magazine's Top-5 bands of Central New Jersey, and they were selected as one of a few area acts to appear on Jersey Shore Music Television. Jon is so well-known in his hometown that a local diner named a sandwich after him -- The Caspi Special -- which was available during the year of 2006 -- but you can still request it!
Prior to operating under his own name, Jon had been the lead voice and songwriter for nationally successful acts such as Bouncing Off Bob and Boss Gremlin, has had his music featured on radio stations across the U.S, in films, and on MTV.
