Light of Day Announces 25th Anniversary Celebration With John Rzeznik, Brian Fallon


The annual Parkinson's fundraiser has grown from a tiny show in Asbury Park to a global concert series, thanks in part to Bruce Springsteen.

Joe Grushecky is joined by Bruce Springsteen who made a surprise appearance during Bob's Birthday Bash at the Light of Day Winterfest at Paramount Theatre on January 18, 2020 in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Light of Day was born in November 2000 when a series of local musicians gathered at the Stone Pony to raise money for Bob Benjamin, a former Billboard writer and rock manager who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 1996. Fox, Gary U.S. Bonds, Max Weinberg, LaBamba’s Big Band, Jesse Malin, Jakob Dylan, Ed Kowalczyk, Lucinda Williams, and Suzanne Vega have all performed at Light of Day.
