Merchant with Barr and Friedman

MARC AND ANDREW TO PLAY BENEFIT SHOW WITH NATALIE MERCHANT

Andrew Barr

On Friday November 16 Marc Friedman (bass) and Andrew Barr (drums) (The Slip) will be joining Natalie Merchant onstage in a concert to benefit the Boston based non-profit policy research organization “Give US Your Poor.”

The show will be at the historic Strand Theatre in Dorchester MA, which originally opened in 1918, seats 1400 and has been host to many notable performers including Duke Ellington, Dean Martin and Cab Calloway. The concert is intended to raise money for GUYP and to celebrate the release of their compilation CD also entitled Give US Your Poor, which features tracks by Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Pete Seeger and more… (And of course Natalie, with whom Marc, Andrew, and EISENHOWER co-producer Matt Ellard helped record the track “No Good Reason” last September at Q-Division Studios in Boston… Go ahead and check out a video of the session here).

Don’t forget to buy your tickets to the show early.
