Guitarists Dave Navarro, Billy Morrison and an all-star band will be performing at the third “ABOVE GROUND” benefit concert at The Fonda Theatre in Hollywood on December 20th.
ABOVE GROUND will be “celebrating the vinyl album as an art form.” Navarro and Morrison have successfully played the 2018 and 2019 benefits thus far, and will be accompanied by multiple artists across the boards, including Corey Taylor, Mark McGrath, Billy Idol, Etty Lau Farrell, and more to be announced before the date.
The 2021 event will be celebrating two albums, Lou Reed’s: Transformer (’72) and the Sex Pistols’ Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols (’77).
Profits from the event will be donated to MusiCares, which provides a safety net of critical health and welfare services to the music community.
In an interview talking about “ABOVE GROUND 3” Dave and Billy had a word about MusiCares:
MusiCares has literally saved more than a few of our friends from dying. Their role cannot be overstated, and we have precious few organizations that actively step in to help people on the brink. On the frontline, finding and paying for beds in treatment, arranging therapy and counseling, and actually speaking up on a public level about the importance of mental health are all reasons why we continue to do what we can to draw attention to this subject.
