(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- The Asbury Park Music Foundation presents Strike-A-Chord 2 on Sunday, October 25, 2026 at Asbury Lanes. The event, headlined by Marc Ribler & Friends, brings together established artists, local favorites, emerging musicians and student performers... all sharing one stage to support music education for underserved youth. Showtime is 12:00pm.

An acclaimed guitarist, songwriter, producer and musical director, Marc Ribler has spent decades performing alongside some of the biggest names in music. He'll bring his friends...and plenty of rock & roll...to the Asbury Lanes stage for a special Strike-A-Chord performance.

The afternoon will also feature performances by The Well Wish, Salt Brothers, Kings & Queens (Lakehouse Music Academy), Beach Music Rock Band (Beach Music Studio), The Stretch (Manasquan Music Academy), CBA & Ranney Student Musicians, APMF Scholarship Students, and more.

One of the things that makes Strike-A-Chord so special is seeing professional and established musicians share the day with the next generation of young artists. For many of their student musicians, it's an opportunity to experience their own rock-star moment performing on an iconic Asbury Park stage.

Come for the music and stay for an afternoon of bowling, food, raffles, a 50/50, friends and fun---all while supporting the Asbury Park Music Foundation's mission to provide music education, mentorship and performance opportunities to young people who might not otherwise have access.
