Jon Stewart’s Band Church And State™ Make Stone Pony Debut
Jon Stewart's punk roots date back to the '80s, when he was a bartender at the legendary Trenton, New Jersey rock club City Gardens. His entertainment career took a turn towards other endeavors, but after he retired from The Daily Show, he decided to take up drumming as a hobby in his spare time. Lately Stewart has been flexing those newfound chops with Church And State™, a new band that includes Rick Barry, Justin Bornemann, and Andy Bova, the guy who gave Stewart drum lessons.
