Steel Bridge: Browne, McFadden

Steel Bridge SongFest ’08 Builds Bridges of Creativity while Benefiting a Historic Drawbridge

Jackson Browne

The Steel Bridge SongFest enters its fourth season, June 12-14, of bringing together musicians, songwriters, historic preservationists and music fans. The annual benefit for the Michigan Street Bridge has helped to raise almost $150,000 to save and maintain the bridge, and to build community awareness of the importance of preserving it. Steel Bridge SongFest ’08 will again last three days with more than 100 original acts performing on over a dozen stages. Trolley rides between all venues make it a truly worry-free and safe evening out on the town.

This year’s event will welcome back many favorites from SB3 including Jackson Browne, Jane Wiedlin, Freedy Johnston, Eric McFadden, Blueheels, Tony Brown, Ruby James, Geri X, James Hall, Kim Manning and more confirming every day. The fest will also host some Steel Bridge newcomers including Louise Goffin, Victor DeLorenzo (Violent Femmes), Ian Moore, Kacy Crowley, Lynda Kay and more.
