Also taking part in the concert are Dave Stewart of Eurythmics, Kate Hudson, Jesse Malin, The Struts’ Luke Spiller, Eric Burton of Black Pumas, Grace Bowers, and Christone “Kingfish” Ingram.
In addition, the show will feature appearances by comedians Amy Schumer, Tracy Morgan, and Curb Your Enthusiasm co-star Susie Essman.
Serving as the evening’s music director is Will Lee, longtime bassist The Late Show with David Letterman’s house band, the CBS Orchestra.
The Love Rocks NYC concert always raises money for God’s Love We Deliver, a New York City-based charity that brings free meals to those in need in the community. This year, in response to the Los Angeles-area wildfires, the show also will benefit the L.A.-based Project Angel Food. That organization also prepares and delivers healthy meals to those who are seriously ill or in need.
Tickets for the show go on sale on to the general public this Friday, February 14, at 10 a.m. ET via Ticketmaster. Pre-sale tickets will be available starting Thursday, February 13, at 10 a.m. ET via Ticketmaster.
