Mike McCready Lends His Talents To Two Seattle Benefit Concerts

McCready joins fellow artists at Skiffle fundraiser for All-Access Youth Arts Programs at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center on August 21st. And McCready's Band Shadow '86 will headline benefit for Soulumination at the Tractor Tavern on August 27th.

Pearl Jam lead guitarist Mike McCready will take part in two benefit concerts this month to raise funding and awareness for stand out local non-profit organizations Soulumination and All-Access After-School. McCready joins Dave Dederer (Presidents of the United States of America), Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver) and members of the Dusty 45's - performing together as "Bison" in Skiffle - a fundraiser for All-Access After-School at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center on Thursday, August 21st. Doors are at 6PM. Concert begins at 7PM. $25 suggested donation at the door. Also performing that evening will be the Boogilistics, Camille Bloom and Recovery, Scribes and artists from All Access partner organizations Arts Corps, Rock School and the Service Board. Earlier that day, eight teams comprised of community leaders, local artists and the performing bands will create a work of art of blank canvases, including guitars and basses. These masterpieces will be auctioned off during the concert.

Shadow '86 Jimi Hendrix Tribute featuring Mike McCready and special guests will also headline an early show benefit for Soulumination at Seattle's Tractor Tavern on Wednesday, August 27th. Performance begins at 6pm. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.tractortavern.com and Sonic Boom Records. $12 in advance ($15 at the door).

    I made a few that I was going to donate to the fundraising pre-parties on the last east coast tour but I never got my ass around to doing that, so now I'm just giving them away to anyone who wants to show their love for the master. I already sent out the few I had but I can and will be making more if the interest is there. I am NOT selling them, just hoping to populate the world with Master McCready T's...lol

    PM me your size/color preference and I'll see what I can do.

    Hey there, I don't suppose there's a fellow Mike/PJ fan that's got an extra ticket to spare to this Shadow show? Swung by The Tractor today and there wasn't a ticket to be had (actually got there as they were putting up the "August 27th is Sold Out" sign).

    I'd gladly pay you for the ticket and buy you a drink... or we could swap, I did pick up some Hater tickets while there. That show is Sept. 30th.

    Oh yeah, I asked the manager at The Tractor, he said they expected Shadow to play for nearly 90 minutes!

    Thanks in advance...

    Yep, I missed out and need two tickets. Heck, I'd even leave my hubby at home if I could get one ticket. Didn't expect this to sell out! Please pm me if you have a spare or two. thanks! dawn
