Light of Day Asbury Angels Induction Show To Feature Willie Nile, The Verve Pipe

(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- Multi-platinum alterna-rockers The Verve Pipe, and exuberant rocker and Light of Day WinterFest fixture Willie Nile will lead the annual Asbury Angels Induction Show on Friday, January 12 at the Stone Pony. The show is part of Light of Day Winterfest 2018, the 10-day festival (January 5-15, 2018) entering its 18th year of raising money and awareness through the awesome power of music in order to defeat Parkinson’s Disease and the Parkinsonisms, ALS and PSP, in our lifetime.

The Asbury Angels show - which honors and memorializes the lives and history of members of the Asbury Park musical community, “including but not limited to, musicians, tech support persons, DJs, journalists, club owners, record company personnel, managers and promoters” will kick off the final weekend of the charity festival’s 18th edition. The Asbury Angels show, one of the most anticipated events at LOD WinterFest, is a six-hour marathon featuring more than a dozen acts celebrating the newest honorees, whose identities will be announced that evening. Doors open at 6:30pm.  Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 day of show.

With a reputation for spectacular live performances, The Verve Pipe rose out of Michigan in the wake of Nirvana’s success to dominate the mid-‘90s airwaves with the inescapable, era-defining #1 smash single “The Freshmen.” The band continues to be recognized worldwide for that and other radio hits “Photograph,” “Hero,” “Happiness Is,” and “Never Let You Down.”With a new lineup and a renewed energy and focus, lead singer/principal songwriter and founder Brian Vander Ark and the band continue to deliver original music distinguished by innovative arrangements, soul-searching lyrics and layered vocals. 

Willie Nilewho has played WinterFest every year since its inception, was hailed by the New York Times as "one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years,” and his Streets Of New York album was praised as "a platter for the ages" by UNCUT magazine.Rolling Stone listed The Innocent Ones as one of the "Top Ten Best Under-The-Radar Albums of 2011" and BBC Radio called it "THE rock 'n' roll album of the year." His single from that album, "One Guitar," was the "Top Pick of the Week" in USA Today, and has been adopted by Light of Day as its unofficial anthem.
