DAVID BRYAN keyboardist of BON JOVI headlined the Rock the Farm Benefit Concert on Saturday, August 29 in Farmingdale, NJ, and he brought a special guest the new guitarist of BON JOVI MATT O’REE.  Matt O’Ree will be joining BON JOVI for a one month tour of southeast Asia through September and October 2015.

Rock the Farm Benefit Concert is organized not only to raise money for the CFC Loud N Clear Foundation but also to raise awareness of their unique mission which is to give people suffering from drug addiction a more successful alternative route to recovery.

CFC Loud N Clear was developed in light of our family’s personal journey through addiction. In 2012 after many IOPs, several in-patient treatment centers and years of an uphill battle, we discovered the gaps in the system and realized a need for diverse programs of extended after care.  Daniel Regan developed an after care system for himself with the help of his mother Lynn Regan.  After a while people started to want to know how they did it and wanted a recovery plan set up for themselves. They decided from that point that everyone deserves access to an aftercare program and they created CFC Loud N Clear. The first year after treatment is the most crucial year in someone’s recovery. CFC will help guide you through your first year and beyond. 

DAVID BRYAN and THE MATT O’REE BAND previewed the new BON JOVI guitarist with select BON JOVI hits in the 30 minute set including ‘Runaway’, ‘Bad Medicine’, ‘Wanted Dead or Alive’. DAVID BRYAN sang lead while MATT O’REE provided backing vocals. 

Other performances at Rock the Farm Benefit Concert included stand-up by Don Jamieson (VH1 “That Metal Show”) and Rich Robinson (NPR 90.5 the Night), Keith Roth’s (Sirius XM Hair Nation, Boneyard) FRANKENSTEIN 3000, Dennis Dunaway (ALICE COOPER), Carmine Appice  (VANILLA FUDGE), Vini ‘Mad Dog’ Lopez (E STREET BAND) with his band DAWG WHISTLE, Ricky Byrd (JOAN JETT), Joey Stann (GARY US BONDS),  and other local bands such as the Characters, the Moroccan Sheepherders, Strumberry Pie, Joe Miller, Kenny Aaronson, Gerard and Diane Barros, the Mike Martin Band, Thundergod, Russel Arcara, and the Sam Sims Band.
