2013 Bridge School Benefit Concert #1 to be webcast

The 2013 Bridge School Benefit Concerts will be held Oct. 26-27 at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Calif. - marking the 27th year of the series, where the top names in music have been drawn to these concerts to pledge their support of The Bridge School.

It is a non-profit, innovative organization educating children with severe speech and physical impairments through the use of augmentative and alternative communication systems and assistive technology.

Warner Bros. Records will sponsor the webcast of the Saturday show, which will stream free in its entirety on YouTube. Artists set to appear on the webcast are: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Queens Of the Stone Age, Arcade Fire, My Morning Jacket, Jack Johnson, Elvis Costello, Diana Krall, Fun, Heart and Jenny Lewis.

A friendly reminder:  

The Bridge School Benefit Concerts - 25th Anniversary Edition, is still available in a 3-DVD set and a 2-CD package is available via Reprise Records.
 
The 3-DVD set includes two performance discs featuring Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Pearl Jam, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, The Who, Tom Petty, Simon and Garfunkel, Neil Young, and much more.

A documentary DVD includes "The Bridge School Story," which gives a special look into this wonderful school and the truly phenomenal services they provide children with advanced physical and communication challenges.

Another documentary on the DVD, "Backstage At The Bridge School Benefit Concert," offers a bird's-eye view of the event itself, along with special features including heartfelt interviews with the students and the artists themselves.
