Description

Featuring Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt, and more!

The birthplace of the iconic Westside jazz and blues scene, the fabled town of Asbury Park, New Jersey has gone through more than its fair share of ups and downs. Home to major talents like Southside Johnny, Steven Van Zandt, and Bruce Springsteen, whose debut album was called Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J, the once-storied seaside resort erupted in flames during a summer of civil unrest in 1970. Almost five decades later, the burning city is ready to rise again. Join Van Zandt, Southside Johnny, and The Boss himself as they head back to Asbury Park for an unforgettable celebration of the music that helped put it on the map.

Arrive early as we kick off the night with a DJ and drink specials.

Doors Open: 8:30 PM
