The heart of rock ‘n roll will be beating for Ukraine Today when some of the Jersey Shore’s finest musicians gather on the Point Pleasant Beach boardwalk for a benefit concert to raise money — and the roof — at Jenkinson’s Pavilion.

The concert, dubbed Point Beach Cares, has been put together by Bobby Bandiera, the guitarist and longtime sideman with Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes.

Bandiera will be performing with “friends” — he won’t say who — on a bill that also features Steve Forbert, Joe Bonanno, Ed Testa, and the Ukrainian Chorus of Dumka of New York, which recently brought America to tears singing their national anthem on “Saturday Night Live.”

There’s also a Polish band, Green Secret, and unnamed “special guests” on the bill. As to who those special guests are, Bandiera wouldn’t say on Thursday. But he said all the usual suspects have been alerted.

“I don’t know who’s going to show,” Bandiera said. “Who knows? We’ll see.

”The benefit begins at 5 p.m. Today and runs until 9 p.m. Tickets, — which are $60 each and have been selling fast — are available at www.axs.com.

Bandiera said he was inspired to do something after seeing Point Pleasant Beach Mayor Paul Kanitra on television during his recent trip to Poland to help Ukrainian refugees who fled their country when it was attacked by Russia.

“I was watching the news and saw Paul with his suitcases filled with aid and I said, ‘God bless that man,’ ” Bandiera said. He then contacted a friend, Tom Parr, a videographer, “and we talked about doing whatever we could to help out.

”Kanitra flew to Poland on a whim with an old college friend, Greg Johnson, a week after the Russians invaded Ukraine and sent hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing to the border. He rented a van and spent a week shuttling refugees to makeshift camps, where he prepared food and handed out clothing, sleeping bags, toys and phone chargers to the Ukrainians.

Kanitra said Jenks Bar offered to host the concert for free, and the Point Pleasant police are donating their time as well. As of Tuesday, about 1,300 tickets had been sold. Capacity at Jenks is 1,800.

“We expect that we will sell out,” Kanitra said. “The weather for Sunday looks good.

”Kanitra said with corporate sponsorships, he expects to raise $200,000, with all the money going to three charities heavily involved in the refugee effort: World Central Kitchen, Caritas Poland, and the Polish Red Cross.

Bandiera said Point Beach Cares may not be just a one-night stand. He said there may be other fundraisers for Ukraine later this year.

“I wish I could do more,” Bandiera said.
