The Seventh Annual Light of Day show was blessed with a suprise guest last night, as Bruce Springsteen, old friend of founder Bob Benjamin and longtime LOD supporter, showed up for a few songs to help the cause. “I think we’ve got a friend here,” announced Marah’s Dave Bielanko late in the band’s set, and with that, on came Bruce, wearing a newsboy cap, denim and black work boots. He took guitar and lead vocals on the Eddie Floyd classic “Raise Your Hand” and traded licks with Dave’s brother Serge on the Marah original “Reservation Girl.”

Brought onstage to an oldschool R&B instrumental vamp, Springsteen reappeared a few songs into Joe Grushecky’s set, performing a mix of Joe’s tunes and his own material, highlighted by an extended “Atlantic City,” “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” and a rousing version of “Code of Silence” with Grushecky, that song’s co-writer. The night ended with all the night’s performers crowding onstage for the usual all-star jam, Bruce leading them in a singalong on “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town” before thanking everyone for coming and driving off into the night.
