On this episode of Greetings From the Garden State, powered by the New Jersey Lottery, Mike Ham heads to Angry Papa Entertainment in Wallington, NJ to sit down with the powerhouse rock band Reality Suite — Kimmii Heart, Brian King, Joe Padula, and Jeff Luke.
They dive into the band's Jersey roots, their evolution over the past decade, and how their sound has grown through lineup changes and shared influences. From their early days jamming in 2008 to headlining venues and opening for major acts like Nickelback, the Reality Suite journey is a testament to resilience, passion, and relentless creativity.
The band also shares the story behind their name (hint: it involves a Howard Stern episode and a crumpled napkin) and reveals what drives them to keep making music. Plus, they give a sneak peek at their brand new single, "These Fears," dropping the same day this episode airs!
And of course, they're gearing up to bring the loudest set of the night at Jersey Fest on May 17 at White Eagle Hall.
Topics Covered:
- How Reality Suite formed and found their identity
- Blending classic rock roots with modern influences
- Joining the band and putting a personal stamp on the sound
- Their defining moments of success (pre- and post-pandemic)
- Collaborating on a track for WWE Superstar Liv Morgan
- The importance of evolving without losing authenticity
- New single "These Fears" release announcement
- What fans can expect at Jersey Fest 2024
