Coming to the Crossroads in one's life
NJCoast welcomes Kim Predham, a precocious Neptune City native majoring in Journalism at New York University, to the fold. Read about her exciting encounter at the Java Hut in Belmar...

While I'm not usually a fan of "Jersey music," I have to admit that the Crossroads' set at The Java Hut in Belmar on Saturday, June 16 was impressive. The band has been together for about a year and a half, but they have known and worked with each other for almost 20 years. The experience definitely shows.

Crossroads is comprised of Todd Morgano on lead guitar; Joe Morgano, guitar/vocals; Dave Nahan, guitar/vocals; and Brian Bisbee, drums.
