"New Jersey has been hit especially hard by the coronavirus pandemic," Springsteen said in announcing the benefit on Good Morning America today, "and the people of New Jersey have always stepped up during difficult times."

Organized by the New Jersey Pandemic Relief Fund, "Jersey for Jersey" will be broadcast on April 22 at 7 p.m. ET through Apple Music and AppleTV apps; E Street Radio on SiriusXM; local television stations WABC, WPVI, WPIX, News12 and NJTV; and radio outlets 1010 WINS, WCBS 880, CBS-FM, WFAN, New York's Country 94.7, Alt 92.3 and Q104.3.

The announcement is Springsteen's latest effort to keep fans and listeners occupied indoors. Earlier this month, he shared quarantine special Bruce Springsteen: From His Home, To Yours on SiriusXM radio and released his London Calling: Live in Hyde Park concert film on streaming services in March.
