Jersey natives Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi and more banded together for 'Jersey 4 Jersey'—an hour-long effort to inspire donations to the New Jersey Pandemic Relief Fund.

Kicking off the special was Springsteen and his wife, fellow E Street Band singer Patti Scialfa, with"Land of Hopes and Dreams." The two strummed their guitars and shared one microphone for both their performances, which also included a stripped-down version of"Jersey Girl."Also throwing his support to help his home state was Bon Jovi, who serenaded the audience with two performances as well.

He returned to close out"Jersey 4 Jersey" with"Living on a Prayer," but slowed the song down to punctuate the lyrics. Coming together for the first time since Adam Schlesinger's death was Fountains of Wayne. Schlesinger passed away earlier this month from COVID-19 complications, which made the band's reunion all the more emotional.

"This for Adam, his parents, his children and New Jersey," Chris Collingwood opened, before the three surviving members of the band dove into a melancholy rendition of"Hackensack" as the lyrics such as"Sometimes I wonder where you are" and"But I will wait for you/ As long as I need to," hit differently in the wake of Schlesinger's passing. Filling in for Schlesinger was Sharon Van Etten, another Jersey native.

Also paying tribute to his home state was Charlie Puth, who sang Springsteen's"Growing Up" while sitting at the piano in his parents' basement.
