On June 20, Preservation Hall will present ‘Round Midnight Preserves, a livestreamed benefit concert “inspired by the famed concert series ‘Midnight Preserves,’ which is held every year during Jazz Fest. Dave Grohl, Elvis Costello, Irma Thomas, Dave Matthews, Beck, Jon Batiste, Jim James, PJ Morton, Nathaniel Rateliff and more will participate in the stream.
Preservation Hall’s Ben Jaffe will host the event, which will be directed by Danny Clinch. While the event is free, “donations will be encouraged during the simulcast to support the relief efforts of the Preservation Hall Foundation. Spotify will match donations dollar-for-dollar up to a collective total of $10 Million through its COVID-19 Music Relief.” (Quote via press release.)
In addition, “a live auction will be held to win four “Big Shot” seats to a show at Preservation Hall in New Orleans, along with 4 tickets to one of the following artists’ shows in the US: Dave Matthews Band, Foo Fighters, Elvis Costello, Beck, Jim James/My Morning Jacket, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, and Jon Batiste.”
‘Round Midnight Preserves will be live-streamed on Preservation Hall Foundation’s website, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch accounts from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. CT (9 p.m. to 12 a.m. ET).
