Jeff Crespi

The Jeff Crespi Birthday Bash is back!  Once an annual event, it was last held in 2019.  Like many things, it was put on hiatus by the covid-19 pandemic.  After four long years, and with a new venue, it will return to rock Asbury Park on Sunday April 2!  Don't miss Metal Life Crisis, Candy Cavity, Tilted, and Black Rose Rebellion at the Asbury Lanes!

Jeff Crespi is not only a an award-winning fixture on the Jersey Rock scene, he is one of the most beloved music photographers in the Garden State.  While he regularly photographs national touring acts at venues like The Stone Pony and Starland Ballroom, he has endeared himself to the music community with his killer shots of local talent.  He's helped shine the spotlight on many an up-and-coming acts.  Through his work, Jeff Crespi has visually elevated countless bands and, in the process, forged strong bonds with them.

Once again Jeff Crespi is drawing from his seemingly endless pool of talented contacts to create an epic lineup.  For the return show, he chose four great acts that have yet to rock the current Asbury Lanes.  When Metal Life Crisis, Candy Cavity, Tilted, and Black Rose Rebellion rock the Lanes on April 2, it will be for an extremely low price.  $10 gets you in the door, which opens at 5pm.  It's a great opportunity to see a show at the Asbury Lanes if you've never been.
