Neptune, NJ River Concert Benefit Raises $50,000

*Money To Support Residents Affected By Hurricane Sandy*

Steve was excited to be a part of The River Concert 2013 that took place in the Shark River Hills section of Neptune Township (NJ) on June 1, 2013.  More than 1,300 turned out for the all day event which featured, along with Steve, local resident Nicole Atkins, the Shark River Hillbillies, Lone Ramblers, Glycerin Queens, and Lemon Juice.

The Shark River Hills area was hit hard by Superstorm Sandy and many of the residents are still not in their homes seven months later.  The money raised from the concert will be used to support residents directly affected by the storm.

Thank you to everyone that took their time to attend the concert and support the community!

If you'd like to continue to support the Shark River Hills community, you can purchase "Recovery Along the River" apparel from New Jersey Custom Apparel.  Fifty percent of each item sold will go toward the SRH Recovery Fund!

On March 26, Blue Corn Music re-released Steve's first two albums, "Jackrabbit Slim/Alive On Arrival", as a two-disc set (complete with a dozen rare bonus tracks), providing a fresh opportunity to appreciate the Southern grace and youthful energy, the honeysuckle innocence and gravel-road grit that Forbert effortlessly imbued into songs like "Goin' Down to Laurel," "What Kinda Guy," "Say Goodbye to Little Jo," "Complications" and his breakthrough hit "Romeo's Tune."

Steve filmed some thoughts on the two albums, the new reissue, and confirms the upcoming "album" shows that will feature Alive On Arrival from start to finish!  Check it out on Steve's YouTube page.
