Joe Walsh Partners With Veeps For VetsAid 2022 Livestream

Joe Walsh has partnered with Veeps to livestream VetsAid 2022, the sixth edition of the annual festival.

VetsAid 2022 will feature performances by the newly reunited James Gang, (Walsh, Jimmy Fox and Dale Peters) for a final performance, with special guest Dave Grohl, as well as Nine Inch Nails, the Black Keys and the Breeders.

The show will be hosted for the third time by Drew Carey and will stream live on Sunday, November 13, 2022, from Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.

In 2017, Walsh had founded VetsAid, a national 501(c)3 non-profit organization and benefit music festival to raise and disperse sorely needed funds to veterans groups across the country.

"The arena show sold so fast that we just had to find a way to share the James Gang reunion and this historic night of Ohio rock and roll with more fans across America and the world," Walsh shared. "We at VetsAid learned how to livestream over the past two years so I'm proud to partner again with Veeps to bring this show directly to fans whether it's in their living rooms, in their local VFW halls or even just watching on their mobile phones so that we can raise even more money for Ohio vets and their families."

He added, "And, thanks to our new partnerships with Fandiem and Bandsintown, one lucky donor will even win an all-expenses trip to Columbus to come to the show as my special guest and even grab a cup of joe with Joe! That's me!"

Elvis Costello Reveals Details Of Ten-Night Residency At NYC's Gramercy Theatre

Elvis Costello has announced "100 Songs and More," a ten-night run at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City between February 9 and February 22, 2023.

Costello will perform a completely different set each night, the first five nights solo and the following nights with his long-time pianist Steve Nieve.

The Grammy award winning English singer-songwriter says he has kept the chances of "some friends turn up along the way" a secret.

In all, he will be playing more than 200 different songs picked from his vast 600-plus song catalog and other favorites.

Apart from a printed program of ten songs per night, Costello will select a number of other tunes to be played impromptu, completing each performance without repeating any songs from the printed program over the ten-night stand.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public on September 23.

A limited number of VIP tickets, which include access to all 10 shows, VIP Deck Seating, entry to VIP Bar, a limited edition signed poster and over $200 in service fee savings, will be available in addition to single show tickets.
