As reported earlier this month, Carnegie Hall will play host to a massive tribute for the great Bill Withers this October 1st. Appropriately dubbed “Lean On Him,” the event will feature an amazing cast of musicians recreating Withers’ 1973 LP, Live At Carnegie Hall, as well as a rare performance from Withers himself.

In addition to the performers already slated to play – Sheryl Crow, Aloe Blacc, Amos Lee, Michael McDonald, Keb’ Mo’, Gregory Porter, Kathy Mattea, Ledisi – the event has added Branford Marsalis, Jonathan Butler and Anthony Hamilton to the bill for what will be an undoubtedly memorable evening of music. 

Profits from the show will go towards the Stuttering Association for the Young. Get GA tickets here or various special VIP packages here, including the option for an intimate five-course wine-paired dinner with Withers and his wife Marcia.
