More details have been announced about the North and South Jersey Light of Day concerts that will be held in January, joining the series of fundraising concerts that are held annually in Asbury Park. And some names that are very familiar to New Jersey rock fans are on the bills.

There will also be a Light of Day Winterfest 2015 show at The Cutting Room in New York, with the lineup and ticket details to be announced at a later date.
