A Song for Joe: Celebrating the Life of Joe Strummer was organized and produced by NYC musician/bar owner Jesse Malin, radio DJ Jeff Raspe and Strummer estate manager David Zonshine. The two-hour show will stream for free on Strummer’s website and YouTube page, and all donations collected will benefit Save Our Stages, an organization helping independent venues during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Malin will host A Song for Joe, which will feature some never-before-seen live footage of Strummer, alongside special messages and performances from a mix of musicians, filmmakers, actors and other Strummer devotees. The lineup includes Tom Morello, Josh Homme, Jim Jarmusch, Steve Buscemi, Bad Brains’ HR, Brian Fallon, Beto O’Rourke, the Strokes’ Albert Hammond, Jr. and Nikolai Fraiture, Shepard Fairey, the Pogues’ Spider Stacy, Dhani Harrison, Cherry Glazerr and Matt Dillon. A full lineup is available on Strummer’s website, while additional special guests are set to appear.
We must continue the fight to topple capitalism as we know it, and recognize our collective participation in its dominant institutions. Bon Iver acknowledges our own position within and use of capitalistic practices. It is with recognition of our privilege that we are fully committed to using our unique platform to challenge and change capitalism within our industry, and far beyond.
