North Caldwell Guitarist To Play in Montclair Saturday

Local North Caldwell guitarist will take the stage this weekend at Tierney’s Tavern in Montclair.

Paul Gargiulo, a 1984 graduate of West Essex Regional High School, will play a solo acoustic set during the bar’s Four of a Kind music event on Saturday starting at 8 p.m. The show will feature three additional performing artists.

Gargiulo has been playing guitar since he was a kid growing up in town, and formed the Paul Gargiulo’s band in the early 1990s, which is currently comprised of Ken Adessa on drums and Ronnie Rostino on bass.

“It feels pretty cool,” said Gargiulo about playing in bars and pubs where he grew up. “I always see some old friends I haven’t seen in a long time.”

Gargiuo will play both original songs, which have an Americana/country rock sound, and also covers. He has played at Tierney’s in the past, located at located at 136-138 Valley Road, in addition to the Rockin' Joe in Caldwell, the Great Notch Inn in Little Falls and Hat City Kitchen in Orange.

You can also catch Gargiulo and his band in October at the Caldwell Street Fair. 

The show will be on the second floor at Tierney's Tavern and cover is $5.
