Southside Johnny is to Bruce Springsteen what Morris Day was to Prince. The irrepressible Johnny Lyon is two parts Jersey shore soul man, one part shtick comic, one part classic card, one part music scholar. He delivers gritty, horn-fueled boardwalk rock ’n’ soul with working man’s panache, sweaty energy and rimshot humor. The chatty barroom star returns with songs by Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt and his own Asbury Jukes plus some blues and rock classics. -Jon Bream 7 p.m. Mon.-Tue. $45-$65, dakotacooks.com >>
