Does two acoustic gigs in our hometown mean that we're sick of the studio again? Nah . . . not really . . . but we are honored that we have been invited to appear at the annual Bridge School Benefit concerts. Held on October 27 and 28, 2007 at Shoreline Ampitheatre in Mountain View, CA, this will be our second time participating in the all acoustic shows, and the 21st year that the benefit has been held in the Bay Area.
As usual, the line-up is stellar and we're looking forward to seeing Tom Waits, Eddie Vedder (with Flea & Jack Irons), John Mayer, of course Neil Young, and others perform those days. Tickets are on sale this Sunday, September 9, 2007 at 10:00 AM and for more details, please see the official press release below.
Started by Neil and Peggy Young, the Bridge School is a non-profit organization assisting individuals with severe speech and physical impairments achieve full participation in their communities and is an internationally recognized leader in the education of children who use augmentative and alternative communication. The annual benefit concerts provide the majority of the funding for the school's operation. For more information, check out

There will be a special ticket pre-sale for Fan Club members only on Saturday, September 8 at 10:00 AM PST. The Club has held a very limited number of tickets that will be available in the 200 section of Shoreline Ampitheatre (map here). The Bridge School organizers hold the 100 section seats, and if you are interested in lawn tickets, please go to the general public on-sale on Sunday, September 9 at 10:00 AM PST.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: In order to purchase Met Club pre-sale tickets through Ticketmaster you will need a password. That password will be posted on the Met Club tour page just before the pre-sale begins, so you will need to obtain it there first. We'll give you a link directly to the pre-sale in the tickets section of the MetClub tour page, where you will enter the password and proceed with your purchase.
We're looking forward to seeing some of you Clubbers out at Shoreline in October!
P.S. - There is no meet and greet scheduled at this time.
