Bon Jovi Tribute
SLIPPERY WHEN WET NJ
SLIPPERY WHEN WET NJ is not just a tribute band; they are a group of seasoned veterans from the vibrant New Jersey music scene. Raised on the same mean streets and reared in many of the same bars and nightclubs as Jon Bon Jovi and his band, these experienced rockers bring the same electrifying energy, boundless enthusiasm, and unmistakable New Jersey attitude to the stage as Bon Jovi did in the height of their glory days circa 1986!
For the past 23 years, SLIPPERY WHEN WET NJ has been perfecting their show, and they are stronger than ever. Lead singer Mike Parkes bears an uncanny resemblance to a young Jon Bon Jovi, down to the last detail of his wardrobe. His vocal prowess hits all the high notes, and his stage presence mirrors Jon’s youthful energy. Alongside him, Radicci channels a young Richie Sambora, delivering blazing guitar solos that replicate the original recordings to perfection. Together, they form a front line that rivals Jon and Richie themselves.
Backing this dynamic duo is a rock-solid rhythm section: Sean Faust on keyboards, Ronnie Parkes on bass, and Ron Lipnicki on drums. With pristine backing vocals, this group of Jersey Boys creates an unforgettable and authentic Bon Jovi experience that captivates any audience.
Since their formation in 2001, SLIPPERY WHEN WET NJ has toured extensively across the USA and the Caribbean, performing over 1,000 shows. Their venues range from nightclubs and casinos to large festivals, private parties, corporate events, and even performances for troops around the world, including Afghanistan, Qatar, Kyrgyzstan, UAE, Kuwait, South Korea, Jordan, and Japan.
