TONY PALLAGROSI: “Cause Down The Shore Everything’s All Right”
Tony Pallagrosi uses one word frequently when talking about his career as a musician, promoter and musical entrepreneur: luck. Sure, a well-timed quitting of a garage band may have put him in a position to be able to join a great band, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. But there’s nothing lucky about the work that Tony and the team at Light of Day Foundation have done for 25 years, raising money for Parkinson’s research and other related diseases. Light of Day is preparing for the Winterfest 25 festival, an annual series of concerts and musical events in New Jersey that has raised millions. Luck is good. Teamwork is better.
