Jason Didner and the GSPs

This Jersey rocker became known for his humorous side when his song “You Can’t Get There from Here in Jersey” attained airplay on National Public Radio’s Car Talk program in 2001. A more recent re-recording of this tune landed in Asbury Park Press’ 10 Best Songs by New Jersey Artists. Over the years, he’s worked in some material with more serious messages as well, like his 2022 album “Salt and Sand: Rock Songs to Heal the Mind,” which contains in its lyrics the hard-earned lessons Jason absorbed while having mental health issues hit close to home in his family. Aside from the solo albums and the upcoming release, Jason also recorded two albums with a rock band whose music is intended for kids and families. Jason Didner and the Jungle Gym Jam earned the Parents’ Choice Approved designation for their debut album “Everyone’s Invited” and gave many kids their first rock concert experience at the Bronx Zoo, Coney Island Boardwalk and the legendary Stone Pony.
