We recently had the pleasure of sitting down to talk with Tom Donovan, Executive Director of the Asbury Park Music Foundation.
Tom explained what it was like transitioning from running a large international newspaper to taking on the challenges of making sure that music was a priority for the City of Asbury Park. He discussed the Foundation's relationship with Asbury Park and the struggles of keeping a nonprofit both successful and viable; but was especially passionate when we dove deep down into the importance of music education. The Foundation drives itself to provide programs that support underserved youth through programs like the Lakehouse Music Academy Scholarships, Hope Academy, the Hip Hop Institute, After School Programs, the Asbury Park Summer Music Camp, the Hip Hop Music Camp, and the Latino Experience Music Camp. We also took some time to talk about the area's music history, and how music did indeed save Asbury Park.
