Jersey Shore rock and roll combo Stubba Jonson was founded in 1997 by singer Steve Dweck and guitarist Jared Stolles; by adding drummer Ames Sutton, the group started playing go on the Asbury Recreation area club circuit, documenting their debut record Rose Velvet Stones in 1998. Growing to some five-piece using the enhancements of guitarist Jason Marshall and bassist Morris Gindi, Stubba Jonson came back a year afterwards with Palette Globe.
