On May 31st, a special lineup of partners (including Relix and Headcount) will be gathering at the Brooklyn Bowl to auction off Jerry Garcia‘s legendary guitar, Wolf, and along with the auction there will be a special performance anchored by Joe Russo called Joe Russo’s Friends with Benefits. And holy wow that lineup of musicians joining him is bonkers good.
The 1-2-3-4 punch that is the guitar lineup is solid: John Scofield, Nels Cline (Wilco), Neal Casal (Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Circles Around the Sun) and Delicate Steve! GAH! :::faints:::
Billy Martin (Medeski Martin & Wood) will be there along with obviously Joe Russo, so we’ll have a full Rhythm Devils vibes represented. Scott Metzger, Tom Hamilton and Dave Dreiwitz will all be there, too (but no Marco!). Frequency Russo collaborator Cass McCombs is going to be there also. Check out the full list below, it’s really quite impressive.
