2019 Asbury Park Music & Film Festival To Take Place April 25-28

(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- The Asbury Park Music & Film Festival (APMFF) will return for its fifth consecutive year.  This year's festival will take place from April 25-28, 2019 in Asbury Park, NJ. Ticket information for musical performances, film screenings and panels can be found on the Festival’s official website at apmff.com

The legendary comedy writing and directing duo, Bobby and Peter Farrelly, will appear at the Paramount Theatre on Sunday, April 28 for a career retrospective, highlighting their mutual impact on the film industry. The evening will include an in-depth discussion, audience Q&A and very special guests.

The Farrelly Brothers have created some of the most revered comedic films in the past 25 years including "Dumb and Dumber", "Kingpin", "Me, Myself & Irene", "Shallow Hal", "There's Something About Mary", "The Three Stooges" and many more. Peter Farrelly co-wrote and directed the Golden Globe winning and Academy Award-nominated comedy-drama "Green Book".

Dylan Archives IV, presented by the Bob Dylan Center, will take place on Sunday, April 28 at the House of Independents. This presentation of rare Bob Dylan performance footage has been critically-acclaimed and one of the highlights for Festival attendees over the past three years.

The Paramount Theatre will host "The Gary US Bonds Unusually Big Birthday Bash" with special guests Joe Grushecky & The Houserockers on Friday, April 26. Hot Water Music will celebrate their 25th anniversary at the House of Independents and will mark the occasion by playing albums No Division and Caution in their entirety, respectively on Saturday, April 27 and Sunday, April 28. Special guests include Iron Chic and Crime In Stereo. Jake Miller, along with special guests Logan Henderson and Just Seconds Apart, will also play the House of Independents stage on Friday, April 26.

APMFF will benefit the underserved children in Asbury Park, one of the most challenged youth communities in the country, by providing music education, instruments and social connection opportunities.  Funds raised through APMFF will specifically support three programs including The Hope Academy, The Hip Hop Institute and The Asbury Park Summer Recreation Music Camp.

"The Asbury Park Music & Film Festival has become one of the most anticipated events on the calendar for enthusiasts of live music and movies," said Tom Bernard, Co-President, Sony Pictures Classics. "The Festival's commitment throughout the weekend goes way beyond the stage and screen. Our proudest accomplishment is the work we do to benefit the less privileged children from the city we love, Asbury Park."

In its first four years, the Festival has already welcomed many music and film heavyweights to the stage including Bruce Springsteen, Danny DeVito, Stevie Van Zandt, Wyclef Jean, Don Cheadle, Robert Trujillo (Metallica), Warren Haynes, Michael Franti and many more.

The Festival's Board of Advisors includes some of the most powerful figures in the film and music industries led by Tom Bernard (Sony Pictures Classics), Danny Clinch (Director & Photographer) and Tom Donovan (Gannett New Jersey). In addition, Adam Block (Music Industry Executive), Josh Braun (Submarine Entertainment), Jim Dowd (NJ Devils Stanley Cup Champion), Eric Eisner (Double E Pictures), Denis Gallagher (Charliewood Pictures), Tom Jones (Halo Group), Justin Kreutzmann (Filmmaker), Annie McDonough (Falco Ink), Jeff Rosen (Manager, Bob Dylan), Rich Russo ("Anything, Anything" Radio), Bob Santelli (Grammy Museum), Shelli Sonstein (Q104.3/iHeart Media) and Michael Uslan (Film/TV Producer) serve as  members of the Board.
