On Saturday, November 7th, a group of Bay Area singer/songwriters will come together at the Elbo Room in San Francisco for an unusual in-the-round concert experience. The unique format allows the artists to perform their own songs, and then, in a move reminiscent of the game “musical chairs”, rotate into a backing role as part of the band while others take the lead. Talented on their own, the breadth of their ability is revealed as they trade instruments and vocals, creating a fresh take on each other’s work.
As exciting as the format is, what matters most is that these artists have banded together to benefit International Justice Mission, a human rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression in the fight against modern-day slavery around the world.
Incredible line up: Brad Brooks, Jeff Campbell (of Pine & Battery), David Greco, Rick Hardin, Matt Langlois (of The Welcome Matt), Jane Lui, Matthew Schoening, Megan Slankard, and Ben Wysocki (of the Fray)
