Between August 4th and August 10th, corresponding to Elliott’s 44th birthday, more than 100 musicians and artists from Portland to Los Angeles and Austin to New York City will join together to play Smith’s songs. Each event is benefitting a local charity, and together the evenings will feature members of Grandaddy, Gus Van Sant, Jon Brion, Rhett Miller, Chris Thile, and dozens of other very special guests.
Each specific event will be a benefit for a specific charity in the area, with Portland’s proceeds going to Outside In, Los Angeles’ proceeds going to Free Arts for Abused Children, Austin’s proceeds going to the SIMS Foundation, and New York’s proceeds going to New Alternatives for LGBT Homeless Youth.
