Former JERSEY BOYS cast member, John Michael Coppola, has announced his digital release of the Billy Joel hit single, "New York State Of Mind". 100% of proceeds from the sale of the single will equally benefit the Community FoodBank of New Jersey and The American Red Cross.

Backed by a five-piece band featuring some of Chicago’s top musicians, the track includes musical contributions by Paul Langford (piano), Bob Lizik (bass), Kraig McCreary (guitar), Bob Parlier (drums) and Tom VanKanegan (Sax).“Jersey Boys brought my family and me from New Jersey to Chicago, but as much we love it here, a large part of my heart will always be in New Jersey and my original stomping grounds of New York.” said Coppola. “The pictures of the devastation from back East are truly gut wrenching, and being so far from it all without the ability to physically help people, I felt compelled to reach out to my band here in Chicago with this idea and they were all on board immediately. Everyone donated their time and talent for this cause, and I personally couldn’t be more grateful to them. The only thing bigger than their talents are their hearts.”Videos
