New Jersey songstress Nicole Atkins brought some Garden State flavor to the Interface. Armed with a medallion and her Sea band, Atkins delivered a rare dialed-down performance of five tunes from her album 'Neptune City.'

As for her Jersey pride -- something she shares with the Boss -- there's one Jersey-touting band she'd skip on the association. "We don't talk about Bon Jovi," she deadpanned.

Atkins also talked to Spinner about her surge of success thanks to the American Express commercial that featured her tune, 'Party's Over.' "I saw it once and it was very odd 'cause we were at a Holiday Inn or Econo Lodge," she recalled. "We're watching this commercial, and in the commercial were staying In this really fancy hotel. I'm eating cereal at that Econo Lodge and I'm like, 'Wow, this is so different from how they portray our life to be.'"
