A New Jersey-based crew of Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Tony Bennett, Halsey and others with ties to the Garden State will perform during a fundraiser for the New Jersey Pandemic Relief Fund.

The “Jersey 4 Jersey” fundraiser will be broadcast at 7 p.m. EST April 22 on Apple Music and Apple TV apps, E Street Radio on SiriusXM, local New Jersey TV and radio stations and the radio.com app.

Other familiar names participating (from home) to help the state's fight against the coronavirus pandemic are Chelsea Handler, Jon Stewart, Danny DeVito, Whoopi Goldberg, Charlie Puth, SZA, Saquon Barkley and Kelly Ripa. 

The show will be produced by Joel Gallen, who handled the iHeart Living Room Concert Benefit last month with a top-name cast led by Elton John.
