Asbury Band Aid and more: The five big Jersey shows of the week
Now get ready for Asbury Band Aid.
Asbury Band Aid, which streams at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 20, has more than 25 local acts, one TV star (Jill Hennessy) and Gov. Phil Murphy.
The show is organized by the city s Stone Pony and state Sen. Vin Gopal’s Civic Association, and will stream live on AsburyBandAid.com.
“Asbury Park is home to an incredible art community economically impacted by the mandated shutdown,” said Gopal in a statement. “As the artists work to overcome the economic hardships caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic, we want to provide short-term relief to help meet their financial challenges. I look forward to watching my favorite bands play once again at the Stone Pony Summer Stage when it is safe.”
The news that live shows are returning to the Stanhope House is likely music to the ears of the venue s supporters, many of whom were concerned last fall after hearing that it was in danger of closing due to statewide restrictions on public gatherings.
Owner Jon Klein created a GoFundMe campaign in October that had raised more than $8,900 of its $10,000 goal as of Wednesday afternoon. The Stanhope House is also accepting Venmo payments to the handle SaveALegend, which will help keep the venue afloat.
The Stanhope House, known to many as The Last Great American Roadhouse, was built in 1794 and has served as a music club since the 1960s. World-famous musicians including Muddy Waters and Stevie Ray Vaughan have performed there, and according to the venue s website, Babe Ruth was a frequent customer in the era of Prohibition.
