As always, the bulk of the action will occur in Asbury Park, at such fabled rock venues as the Paramount Theater, the Stone Pony, the Saint, the Wonder Bar, House of Independents, McLoone’s Supper Club, and the Asbury Hotel, among others. Once again, the Paramount Theater will host Bob’s Birthday Bash, the festival’s “Main Event,” on the final Saturday night of WinterFest (Jan. 18). Bob’s Birthday Bash is named for Bob Benjamin, the artist manager and music industry veteran who founded Light of Day in 1998 – two years after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease – as a 40th birthday party fundraiser at a Red Bank, NJ café that brought the first $2,000 to the organization.
For the first time, however, The Paramount will play an expanded role, hosting major events on Friday (Jan. 17), and Sunday (Jan. 19) as well. The special Friday show will star Remember Jones leading an expanded cast performance of The Who’s groundbreaking rock opera, “Tommy.” That Sunday, the Paramount will be hosting an afternoon concert featuring The Chapin Family.
Also on tap in Asbury Park is a special edition of the annual Asbury Angels Induction show, which honors and memorializes the lives and history of members of the Asbury Park musical community, “including but not limited to, musicians, tech support persons, DJs, journalists, club owners, record company personnel, managers and promoters.” This year’s event, being held Friday (Jan. 17), at the Stone Pony, will feature The Weeklings hosting an extended Album Release Show for their third album, 3.
Other favorite returning showcase events include the Downtown Asbury Underground, Monmouth University’s Blue Hawk Records Presents, Acoustic Carousel with former Mr. Reality lead singer Peter Sherer, Bobby Mahoney’s Couch Concert, and the Songwriter’s By the Sea Boardwalk Crawl. Further details on those and other shows will be announced at a future date.
