Light of Day Benefit Concert Series

The Light of Day concert series, now in its 11th year, began as a single concert at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey and has grown into 23 shows in thirteen countries in the U.S., Canada and Europe. The funds raised are donated to help the fight against Parkinson's disease and related illnesses by funding research into better treatments, cures and support for patients suffering from Parkinson's disease and related illnesses.
There are several shows in our area, starting tonight in NYC, and finishing this weekend in Asbury Park, where it all began.
