The event will be emceed by Nicky Addeo, also known as the "Bangs Avenue Kid."
"These people from Asbury Park embody the various styles of Asbury music," Addeo said. "Leon Trent is R&B, Vini Lopez and Sonny Kenn are rock and we're attempting to find a gospel group. The show embodies all of the various music styles of Asbury Park, not just one specific style."
Beneficiaries of the concert will be AmeriCares and/or Relief International. The allotment had not been determined as of press time.
"I just got off the phone with (family friend and Asbury Park native Danny DeVito) and he suggested Relief international," Addeo said. "He's looking to get the most bang for the buck."
