Others in the cast include Marshall Crenshaw, Remember Jones, Williams Honor, Brielle Von Hugel, Emily Grove, Tom Brislin, Tony Shanahan (of Patti Smith’s band), Jigs, Lindsey DeSena, Erin Hill, Chuck Buck, Jerzy Jung, Mark Sacco, Jamie Hannigan, Serena Soffer, The Ocean Avenue Stompers, Kayla Hutchins, Jillian Rhys, Sheri Gilmore, Alicia Van Sant, Gina Hyams, Evelyn Leone, Tricia Mozgai, Michele Petrie, Patti Maloney, Darla Rose Taylor, Sally Burtnick, Christina Shafer-Burtnik and the North Brunswick Township High School Percussion Ensemble.
