'Tis the season for benefit concerts, and one of the biggest will take place at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank on Dec. 21.
Jon Bon Jovi will lead an all-star lineup that night, at "The Hope Concert III." Tickets will be $100-$500, with proceeds benefiting the Valerie Fund Center at Children's Hospital at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch.
Others on the bill include Southside Johnny, Gary U.S. Bonds, Bobby Bandiera, the Jersey Shore Rock-N-Soul Revue, Mark Pender and Richie "La Bamba" Rosenberg and Tim McLoone & the Shirleys.
The two previous "Hope" concerts, benefiting other charities, took place at the Basie in 2003 and 2006. Like "Hope III," they were organized by Bandiera, a longtime member of Southside Johnny's Asbury Jukes who is currently touring with the Bon Jovi band. Last year's show was actually called "The Bobby Bandiera All-Star Holiday Concert."
Bruce Springsteen performed at the two previous shows. While he is currently on tour in Europe, his last show there is Dec. 19, so he could join the lineup as an unannounced guest.
Tickets will go on sale 9:30 a.m. tomorrow. They will be available at the Basie box office at 99 Monmouth St., Red Bank, and by phone at (732) 842-9000. There is a four-ticket limit. Tickets will not be available through the theater's Web site.

Despite being told that we are absolutely not going (which was fine with me) all it took for mike to start dialing was a little note from St John. MB, Charlie, Mike and I will be whooping it up holiday style once again this year. anyone else going?
What can I say, I'm very gullible.
Oh, and I think that maybe we shouldn't have made this public. HIK might be sending me another angry email now.
There is nothing wrong with liking Bon Jovi......I'm sure it will be a great show!
Actually Jon did a very nice job last year. He did a couple of Christmas songs backed up by Bobby's band.
