Jon Bon Jovi was just added to the line up for HOPE Concert 8, December 23rd at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank. I'll have the pleasure of hosting this great event as my man Bobby Bandiera leads an all-star line up featuring Southside Johnny, Gary U.S. Bonds, John Cafferty and more, raising big money for various New Jersey charities.

Check out Jon Bon Jovi and Bobby Bandiera from last year's HOPE Concert playing 'I Wish Everyday Could Be Like Christmas.'

Showtime starts at 7pm and tickets are on sale now on their website, at the box office located at 99 Monmouth Street in Red Bank or by calling 732-842-9000.
