JERSEY SHORE SUMMER MUSIC: ICONS OF ROCK CONCERT THURSDAY JULY 14TH at BAR A(0) JERSEY SHORE SUMMER MUSIC: ICONS OF ROCK CONCERT THURSDAY JULY 14TH at BAR A
I’m always on a personal quest via a yellow brick road of relevance to find summer venues/activities that embrace the images of Jersey pop culture living. Therefore, to make summer really effective, memorable, iconic, versatile, one should seek events at or close to the Jersey shore, replete with indigenous(homegrown) purist Jersey rock music with a plethora of beverages to ease you down the road. Usually accompanying the aforementioned, are a gathering of friends and faces tanned by Jersey sun; The Icons of Rock Concert fulfills all those criteria. See you next Thursday. Calvin Schwartz

WHAT A WAY TO START 2016: 4th Annual BIG MAN’S Birthday Bash January 9th 2016 At Bar Anticipation bY Calvin Schwartz(0) WHAT A WAY TO START 2016: 4th Annual BIG MAN’S Birthday Bash January 9th 2016 At Bar Anticipation bY Calvin Schwartz It’s December 23rd, two days before Christmas and a week before New Years. I’m always smitten with sentimentality this time of year; where did the time go; how can all those special people in my life be gone. Sometimes I clench my fists tight trying to hold a special moment or being angry that I didn’t hold on to moments when special people in my life were here with me. Age old thoughts I know. Four years ago, I happened upon Nick Clemons, Terry Camp and Jesse Warren and being the sentimentalist, I clenched my fist and got involved in the celebration of the Big Man, Clarence Clemons. So this is the 4th Annual Bash. What fascinates and keeps me coming back every year, is the unique palpable energy, love and spirit in the middle of central Jersey expressed in hours of music by some of the most talented people on the planet. And I marvel at all the people assembled sharing this. I’m thinking now of the folk song, ‘Simple Gifts’ played at President Obama’s first Inauguration. Also Bruce Springsteen and Pete Seeger singing ‘This Land is Your Land’ at the Lincoln Memorial at the Inauguration. I think it a wondrous simple gift to be part of this musical celebration for an iconic Jerseyan, musician and legend, Clarence Clemons. All of which means YOU should be there on January 9th. MERRY HAPPY HEALTHY Calvin Schwartz 12-23-15 4:44PM

Nick Clemons states, “My father always taught me to ‘give back’ and remember the less fortunate. I try to do that and CFC Loud N Clear does great work at a time that New Jersey has its worst heroin epidemic ever.” This is the fourth year for a Big Man Birthday Bash charitable event. The show is produced by BIG RoaD, the production entity of Terry Camp and Jesse Warren. Camp recalls, “When Clarence passed, Wonder Bar in Asbury Park hosted the Sensational Soul Cruisers and The Nick Clemons Band for a memorial show in July 2011. Bruce [Springsteen] was kind enough to join us that epic night and we’ve been building on it since – selling out Wonder Bar in December 2012, packing Martell’s in Point Pleasant January 2014, and selling out Bar Anticipation last January. The show gets bigger and bigger every year.” He added, “We’re thrilled to be returning to Bar Anticipation working with Tom Jannarone and his Bar Anticipation team. That place is cream of the crop for a diverse and quality entertainment experience.” BIG RoaD’s Jesse Warren lost his brother, Scott Warren, to a heroin overdose on March 26th, 2015. Warren states, “The heroin addiction crisis in Monmouth and Ocean Counties has been building for many years and has, unfortunately, received national note. Last year, it hit home – my home. We are all responsible to keep the issue front and center in our communities – and we’re glad to again be partnered up with CFC Loud N Clear.” Bash details and frequent updates are at the Facebook Event page: http://

About The Del-Lords
About The Matt O’Ree Band New Jersey’s best kept secret has made some big noise in the past year. Prior to 2015, The Matt O’ Ree band did what most area bands do. They played their shows, developed their sound, released their records and very quietly built a loyal, local fan base in the process. Beyond incredible talent and showmanship, what makes this band stand out among the rest is that their local fan base includes Bruce Springsteen, David Bryan and John Popper – all of whom have volunteered to perform on the band’s forthcoming album to be released in 2016. O’Ree’s talent and presence was finally recognized globally when he got the nod to join international superstars, Bon Jovi, as the band’s new guitarist/vocalist on the late 2015, international stadium tour. When some of your biggest supporters have sold a collective 230 million units, you know you’re doing something right. Growing up on influencers ranging from Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Rory Gallagher, ZZ Top, Robin Trower, Joe Walsh and Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Matt O’ Ree Band has taken all these diverse elements and forged a new iron. Matt’s writing is inspired from many life experiences and years of study from the ones that have wrote the book on how to play real guitar rock music. Not as a photocopy, but in a new light that hasn’t been seen in quite some time. Now is the time for real music and real musicianship to make a resurrection. The band takes their fans on a ride that hasn’t been heard or seen at this level since the 70’s. Their live show is like revisiting a Zeppelin concert at the Garden, and with Eric Safka on Hammond B3, Scott Bennert on Bass, and John Hummel on Drums, they’ve built a foundation that can hold up the biggest house on the block. After years of honing their craft, the Matt O’Ree Band is about to become an “overnight success.” Get M.O.B.’d up with New Jersey’s next, great export. About The BIG RoaD All-Star Band Created by Camp and Warren from an August 13, 2015 40th Anniversary “Born to Run” show, this 11-piece, All-Star band is backed by the best of the Jersey Shore including former Asbury Jukes, current (Jon Bon Jovi) Kings of Suburbia members and many local and national musicians and featured vocalists. About CFC Loud N Clear

A VERY SPECIAL COMING ATTRACTION: BIG RoaD’s “CHRISTMAS COMES EARLY,” CELEBRATING SPRINGSTEEN ALBUM ANNIVERSARIES AND THE HOLIDAY SEASON, Thursday November 19th at Bar Anticipation FOR TWO, SPECIAL CHARITABLE CAUSES (THE LIGHT OF DAY FOUNDATION AND HOLIDAY EXPRESS) bY Calvin Schwartz(0) A VERY SPECIAL COMING ATTRACTION: BIG RoaD’s “CHRISTMAS COMES EARLY,” CELEBRATING SPRINGSTEEN ALBUM ANNIVERSARIES AND THE HOLIDAY SEASON, Thursday November 19th at Bar Anticipation FOR TWO, SPECIAL CHARITABLE CAUSES (THE LIGHT OF DAY FOUNDATION AND HOLIDAY EXPRESS) bY Calvin Schwartz
I love our life here in central Jersey. I love the holidays. I love family and friends. I love music. I love causes. A few weeks back, I spoke to Jesse Warren and Terry Camp from Camp Warren’s BIG RoaD Productions and they filled me in on their upcoming huge musical night on November 19th. Of course I immediately said, “What’s there not to love. It’s perfect for the holidays as that special “vehicle” to kick things off.” Following in the footsteps of BIG RoaD’s amazing ‘Thunder Road Thursday’ back in August, once again this promises to be that kind of night to be talked about for a long time. So in the immortal similar words of William Shakespeare (whom I did NOT read in college) “get thee to this holiday show.” Calvin Schwartz, November 12, 2015
CAMP WARREN’S BIG RoaD PRESENTS “CHRISTMAS COMES EARLY,” CELEBRATING SPRINGSTEEN ALBUM ANNIVERSARIES AND THE HOLIDAY SEASON – FOR TWO, SPECIAL CHARITABLE CAUSES (THE LIGHT OF DAY FOUNDATION AND HOLIDAY EXPRESS)
Lake Como, NJ – On November 19, 2015, BIG RoaD – a new entertainment production company formed by Terry Camp and Jesse Warren – will present “Christmas Comes Early.” This big band concert event will feature the “Born to Run 40 All Star House Band” formed by Camp and Warren for their 40th Anniversary “Born to Run” show at Bar Anticipation on August 13, 2015. November 19th will be a celebration in three, again at Bar Anticipation in Lake Como, NJ – celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Bruce Springsteen’s legendary album, “Born to Run;” the 35th Anniversary of Springsteen’s “The River;” and the early holiday season.
The night will benefit two charitable causes: The Light of Day Foundation and the Jersey Shore’s own, Holiday Express. [Previously, the event had designated #TeamFran as a beneficiary. Recently, for reasons unrelated to the event, #TeamFran has withdrawn from beneficiary status but continues to support the show.] The earlier August 13th show raised over $11,000 for CFC Loud N Clear – a post-rehab drug addiction care and support organization based in Farmingdale, NJ.
The Born to Run 40 All Star House Band
November 19 will again feature the eleven-member, “Born to Run 40 All Star House Band” created in August, backing featured performers. Springsteen’s “Born to Run” album will be covered and celebrated, as well as songs from “The River” and – in the spirit of the season – Christmas songs. Co-producer, Jesse Warren, states, “Stores start holiday displays in late October these days. So, it’s never too early to swing to holiday classics – especially with our All Star big band.” The night will also feature artist collaborations and jams for which the Shore is famous. The full line-up of popular Shore artists will include:

LIGHT OF DAY
Light of Day is a New Jersey-based 501(c)(3) organization which funds research into possible cures, improved treatments and support for persons suffering from Parkinson’s disease and related illnesses. The primary fundraising efforts are an annual series of concerts held in Asbury Park, NJ. Since its inception in 2000, Light of Day has raised over $2.5 million in the fight to find a cure for Parkinson’s disease. What began as a single concert in New Jersey has grown into approximately seventy shows in thirteen countries on three continents including the United States, Canada and Australia!
The concerts and the organization began as a birthday party in November 1998 to celebrate the 40th birthday of artist manager and music industry veteran, Bob Benjamin. Benjamin had recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system, and in lieu of gifts, asked that donations be made to the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation. Over $2,000 was raised that night. Spurred by the generosity and support, Benjamin reached out to friends, including concert promoter Tony Pallagrosi and musician Joe D’Urso, and formed the Light of Day charity, taking its name from a Bruce Springsteen song. The first official Light of Day concert was held at Asbury Park, NJ’s legendary Stone Pony in November 2000 and primarily featured local, unsigned artists. The critically acclaimed Pittsburgh-based band Joe Grushecky and the Houserockers (managed by Benjamin) headlined the show, which featured a surprise appearance by local hero Bruce Springsteen, who joined the Houserockers for a raucous hour-long set. Over the years, Light of Day has grown from a one-day event into a festival spanning 10 days in the New Jersey/New York metropolitan area. More significantly, Light of Day has expanded into an internationally recognized tour, through a true grassroots effort of musicians, music fans and benefactors. Light of Day shows take place around the world on three continents, including six shows in Canada, an 18-day late November into December trek through Europe, with stops in England, Wales, Ireland, Sweden, Belgium, Norway, Denmark, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Spain and a brand new Light of Day event in Australia! Portions of the proceeds from each show are donated to a local Parkinson’s organization. Performers at Light of Day have included Bruce Springsteen (numerous appearances), Michael J. Fox, John Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls), Ed Kowalczyk (Live), Jesse Malin, Alejandro Escovedo, Willie Nile, Garland Jeffreys, Jakob Dylan, Lucinda Williams, Badly Drawn Boy, Pete Yorn, Gary US Bonds, Joe D’Urso and Stone Caravan, John Eddie and many more local, unsigned artists.
HOLIDAY EXPRESS
The Holiday Express mission is to deliver music, food, gifts, financial support and friendship to those with the greatest need for the gift of human kindness, during the holiday season and throughout the year. Founded in 1993 by Tim McLoone, Holiday Express works year-round to deliver music, food, gifts, and human kindness to adults and children in need, including the mentally and physically disabled, the isolated, individuals in addiction and recovery programs, the poor and the homeless, and children with serious illnesses. With a constituency of more than 16,000 throughout the metropolitan tri-state area, the group’s priority is to serve those who are desperately in need and often forgotten.
The Holiday Express “from-the-heart” troupe of musicians with several dozen support volunteers, bring music, friendship, hope and joy. Programs include a meal, gift bags, raffle prizes, face painting, crafts and the company of colorful characters including Frosty, the Grinch, Santa and lots of elves.
BAR ANTICIPATION Bar Anticipation hosts as part of its own “Throwback Thursdays” series and offers a variety of drink specials all night long. The producers state, “As always, we’re thrilled to again be working with Tom Jannarone and his Bar Anticipation team. That place is cream of the crop for a diverse and quality entertainment experience – and a natural venue to carry on the legacy of Jersey Shore rock and roll.”

COMING JERSEY SHORE ATTRACTIONS: Friends for Danny Federici Benefit at Bar Anticipation on Saturday May 9 By Calvin Schwartz(0) COMING JERSEY SHORE ATTRACTIONS: Friends for Danny Federici Benefit at Bar Anticipation on Saturday May 9 By Calvin Schwartz
When I was told about this event, it was one of those “have to be there “experiences for several personal reasons. Of course it’s Danny Federici, a Jersey native and part of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band. In 2014, Federici was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the E Street Band. Danny died on April 17, 2008 in New York City after three years fighting melanoma. So the benefit is to raise money for Melanoma research. The Danny Fund, part of The Melanoma Research Alliance was founded and named after him. Melanoma personally hit home for me 15 years ago when a dear friend, a powerful, black belt karate, part time bar bouncer and gentle giving soul had a small sore on his arm which became the entry point of this horrific disease. He passed away within a few months, devastating his family and friends. I had never been that close to melanoma. I saw his family unravel and his father soon pass away seemingly from the overwhelming loss and tragedy. So the fund raiser for Danny Federici , in Belmar, close to E Street is the perfect place and time to celebrate his life and to raise consciousness and funds to fight a terrible disease. Calvin Schwartz April 27, 2015
