| Boccigalupe & The Badboys Special Guests: Hearts and Sounds They say you have to suffer to sing the blues, play hard to do rock, and possess the wounded heart of an urban player to pull off soul, and Boccigalupe & the Badboys, straight out of the gritty musical history of Asbury Park, New Jersey fit that lofty bill. Boccigalupe & The Badboys are not a tribute band or copy band but the REAL THING. Fronted by legendary ASBURY rockers Tony Amato a.k.a Boccigalupe and John Oeser and Ricky D, the band epitomizes the determination and drive that great musicians feed off of to produce incredible live performances. *** The newest Light of Day family members and they rocked the house!

| Just Around The Corner: Light of Day Documentary Flat Broke Productions second feature documentary film focuses on Parkinson's disease, the power of music and one mans' use of that music as his weapon against the disease. “Just around the Corner” is the story of Light of Day Foundation founder Bob Benjamin and his battle against Parkinson’s disease. The film explores not only the disease and the challenges that come with living with PD but also how Bob responded to his diagnosis. He chose to fight back and for his weapon he chose something that is near and dear to him, rock-n- roll. What started as a birthday celebration for him at a local club with his musician friends playing has turned into a world wide, grass roots musical movement that has raised well over a million dollars for Parkinson’s research. The film shows what one man and a group of dedicated, compassionate friends can accomplish when they put their minds, and their music, into action! *** Thanks to everyone who came out to see this very moving movie and to support this great cause. If you are interested in purchasing a copy please contact us at 905-357-4977. |
