Musicians Donate Time and Talent to Benefit the Jersey Shore Jazz and Blues and Lunch Break

On Sunday, April 21, from 12:30 to 9 p.m. the Jersey Shore Jazz and Blues Foundation (JSJBF) will host its 13th Annual Harpin’ Help at Bar Anticipation at 703 16th Avenue in Lake Como, some of the proceeds of which will benefit Red Bank's Lunch Break.

The widely-anticipated all-day music event celebrates its 13th year and features continuous live music and harmonica acts organized by local musician Sandy Mack. The event will generate funding for JSJBF’S operational expenses and collect non-perishable food items and paper products for Lunch Break of Red Bank.  

Sandy Mack, of Wall Township, and a volunteer for the Jersey Shore Jazz and Blues Foundation has been putting Harpin' Help together throughout its 13-year history. "Harpin’ Help offers something for everyone with a variety of musical styles and artists,” says event organizer and harmonica player Sandy Mack. "We all enjoy getting together each year to share our talents to benefit the Jersey Shore jazz and blues community and people in need.” 

All ages are welcome to attend this full day of live music on two stages. Children must be accompanied by an adult. There will be 50/50 raffles, food available for purchase and a cash bar. Admission is $20 at the door, or $15 when a guest brings a minimum of two cans of non-perishable food items or paper goods.
