Joe Walsh will pivot his fourth annual VetsAid fundraised to a virtual format on Dec. 12, enlisting the likes of Alice Cooper, Willie Nelson, Eddie Vedder, Jason Isbell, Amanda Shires, Jewel, Steven Van Zandt, James Hetfield, Ben Harper, Tim McGraw and many more.
“For the past 3 years we’ve held this glorious traveling circus in cities across the country with a day-long rock and roll festival and jobs fair to support our veterans and their families,” Walsh said via press release. “Typically, we fill up an arena, play for 5 hours, and raise a bunch of money – nearly $1.5 million to date – to help our veterans get the care and support they deserve. But because of COVID this year, we’re going virtual as so many things are. Our veterans community already suffers from increased poverty rates, mental health issues, re-entry difficulties and personal crises in the best of times. During this pandemic they are especially vulnerable. I’m proud of this nationwide tradition we have built and I can’t think of a better way to remember and honor the men and women who have served our country this holiday season than by helping us raise funds to support their essential and basic needs. Join us online for a worldwide broadcast of unique musical performances of all kinds, never-before-seen VetsAid footage from years past and great stories from me and some of the greatest musicians in the world.”
Virtual passes will go on sale Wednesday, Nov. 18 at 12 Noon ET.

November 12, 2020 at 3:33 pmAnother use of ‘pivot’….everywhere I turn…work, personal life….everyone is using the word ‘pivot’ like it was just invented. It’s like the Seinfeld where everybody starts eating candy bars with silverware.
