    Three uke songs from Eddie doesn’t sound that exciting.

    I emailed and they replied that it is officially sold out.  Curious how long the sets would be myself.

    It's a benefit. My hunch is that it will probably be just a few songs.

    I bet it'll be 10 songs, live cut to vinyl. A track featuring Bryant and Rizzo and one with Michelle and Barack Obama. This will be epic.

    But seriously, whatever it ends up being, thanks for doing it Eddie.

    He is specifically listed as the headliner under other promo stuff for this event, so maybe not.

    I’m Just hoping for an eight song set at this point, can’t ask for much more and less would be kind of a letdown. I bet he’ll do RITFW with Nils.

    Dying to hear how this went! I'm home with the flu, and had to miss the benefit. I hope everyone is having a great time. Great cause and great lineup!

    Great post with complete info. Thank you!

    I think you're missing a number before Porch, so 7 total songs? Or was it just the first line?

    It was just a tease of just about the first line, not full song so I didn't count it. Almost as enjoyable though considering it was solo!

    I was at the event as well and that was a great recap.  I did not realize how devastating Epilepsy is for so many families.  Nils Lofgren did a great set and then Miguel Cervantes and his lovely wife Kelly delivered a heartbreaking talk about their daughter.  Miguel helped them raise about $500K in 20 minutes from the people in the room and then Ed came out. The Porch tease was really a fun moment - basically Ed just wanted to see how she signed Fuck.  Just Breathe was perfectly suited for this event.  Nils pulled out an electric guitar for Rockin' in the Free World and they really cut loose.  Miguel Cervantes took a verse and looked like he was having a great time.  Overall the event was extremely well done and struck a good balance between education, fund raiser, and entertainment.
