“Deni Bonet&nbsp;is a dynamic, classically trained violinist who would rather strut around a stage than sit in an orchestra chair. Her style ranges from pop to roots-rock to new folk. She has recorded with Pete Seeger and was a founding member of the house band for National Public Radio’s “Mountain Stage,” where she backed renowned artists as diverse as the Indigo Girls, Richard Thompson, and Allen Toussaint. But Bonet also has performed at the White House and the Great Wall of China, and toured in Cyndi Lauper’s backup band. The Wall Street Journal once described her singular sound as “Sheryl Crow meets The B-52s.” Her musical partner, guitarist&nbsp;Chris Flynn, has accompanied Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Ronnie Spector, Garland Jeffreys, Willie Nile, and numerous other notable performers, and he has performed in top venues such as Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center.
Spencer LaJoye is making queer indie folk music for everyone. They are a coast-to-coast singer/songwriter and vocal loop artist with Midwest roots, a classically-trained violinist with an inner theater kid’s love of group choreography, and a student of Americana music with a theology degree hanging in their studio. The 2021 Kerrville Songwriting Competition winner and 2024 Songwriter Serenade winner has been writing and touring their autobiographical folk songs for over a decade, but their viral 2021 anthem “Plowshare Prayer” secured them a permanent place in hearts and households across the world, as well as a peculiar career as a veracious songsmith with an unshakeable pastoral presence. Charming and banter-heavy, Spencer’s performances keep audiences laughing one moment and weeping the next.

NJ Ketamine Pioneer Opens 2nd Clinic in South Plainfield

Reyou Ketamine Treatments

Reyou Ketamine Treatments, the NJ mental health practice that has delivered more than 8,000 transformative treatments for depression, anxiety, PTSD and other mood disturbances, has opened its 2nd clinic at 908 Oak Tree Road in South Plainfield. The expansion comes as the practice's Howell location is consistently booked, with demand for relief of mental health symptoms surging across Central NJ. The expansion comes as treatment-resistant depression affects an estimated 2.8 million Americans, and most patients still don't know that Spravato — the FDA-approved nasal spray form of ketamine — is covered by most commercial and federally funded insurance plans, including Horizon, Cigna, and Aetna. "People come to us after years of trying medications that didn't work for depression, anxiety, PTSD — they're exhausted. They've lost hope," said Michael Langer, founder of Reyou. "What our team has seen across 8,000 treatments is that ketamine doesn't just relieve symptoms — it gets at the root and gives people a window where real change becomes possible. Our job is to make sure that window is maximized for lasting change." Despite growing clinical evidence and FDA approval, access to ketamine-based treatments in NJ remains limited. Many clinics offer infusions as a standalone service — administer the IV, send the patient home. However, Reyou was built on a different premise. Every treatment at Reyou includes integration support — guided sessions during the critical neuroplasticity window that ketamine creates, designed to help patients process their experience and build lasting change. It's a model informed by data from Harvard-affiliated clinics studying more than 2,000 patients. "The treatment opens a door. Integration is what helps people walk through it," said Langer. "We don't do drive-through ketamine. Reyou was built around what actually produces lasting results." The 908 Oak Tree Road location is now scheduling appointments.

Guiding Smart Moves With Real Numbers and Strategy

Laura Deutsch - Realtor at Keller Williams

Buying or selling a home is a big decision, and it shouldn’t feel rushed, confusing, or transactional. I believe it should feel informed, intentional, and fully supported from start to finish. I’m a New Jersey–based real estate agent who specializes in helping buyers and sellers navigate today’s market with clarity and confidence. Many of my clients are families and professionals who know what they want next, but need help understanding how to get there strategically. Whether that means moving up, moving closer to town, or deciding if staying put actually makes more sense, my role is to guide you through real options using real data. What sets my approach apart is a focus on education and strategy. I don’t believe in pressure or one-size-fits-all advice. I take the time to understand your goals, walk you through the numbers, and help you evaluate decisions based on facts rather than assumptions. That includes collaborating closely with trusted local partners, from lenders to inspectors, so nothing feels like a guess. I’m deeply connected to the communities I serve and pride myself on knowing not just the market, but the nuances of each town, neighborhood, and lifestyle. My clients value honesty, responsiveness, and a process that feels thoughtful and organized. If you’re looking for a real estate experience that’s grounded, transparent, and tailored to how you actually live, I’d love to connect.
