In this episode, we caught up with the dt’s — David Cacciatore and Tom Losito — as they gear up for their sold-out North to Shore Festival performance at Wonder Bar on June 22 with Penelope Road and the Mike Montrey Band. The North to Shore Festival is a unique celebration of New Jersey’s arts and culture, giving local artists like The DTs the opportunity to share the stage and gain exposure alongside nationally recognized acts. It’s an exciting platform for emerging talent across the state.

We explored the band’s journey since forming in 2020, their signature blend of genres, and how they maintain a dynamic live show with a rotating cast of musicians. We also discussed the vibrant diversity of New Jersey’s music scene and the importance of balancing individuality with regional influences.

the dt’s shared behind-the-scenes stories — from past gigs (including a funny run-in with Jane Seymour) to their evolving plans for live recordings and acoustic sessions. Along the way, the conversation touched on everything from North to Shore Festival planning to family traditions, guitar repair, and the joy of performing live. With plenty of humor and heart, the dt’s gave us a glimpse into their creative process, stage chemistry, and the community that continues to support them as they grow.
