Mayor Jimmy Davis announced that the Bayonne Free Public Library is hosting an exhibit on The Jellybeans, a former local elementary school vocal group. The exhibit will run through the first half of July.  The Jellybeans, a girl group in the style of the 1960â€s, was formed at Our Lady of Mercy Academy in Jersey City while the girls were in the 6^th grade.  The group continued through the 8^th grade. Their musical director and songwriter was Anthony Coviello.  He created tunes with complex vocals and harmonies which the girls performed and recorded. The group produced three CDâ€s: Back in School (2010), No Time for a Bad Day (2011), and Look at Us Now (2012).  The CDâ€s were produced with musical accompaniment by Steve LoPresto, a member of the B Street Band, a Bruce Springsteen tribute group. Mr. Coviello and The Jellybeans have donated two copies each of their CDâ€s to the library. The exhibit is on the second floor of the library, which is located at 31^st Street and Avenue C in Bayonne.

 

            The Jellybeans sang pop tunes that offer family-friendly lyrics for all age groups.  Their music can be found now on YouTube, CD Baby, Pandora, Spotify, iTunes, and Amazon.  The groupâ€s website is Jellybeansongs.com.
