Game Theory and Loud Family frontman Scott Miller died back in April which hit a lot of fans hard. And he had a lot of fans, many of whom are musicians. Some of them will be playing a Scott Miller tribute that happens at Cake Shop on June 29, which features A.C. Newman, Ted Leo, Okkervil River’s Will Shef, Doug Gillard, The Wrens’ Charles Bissell, and more. There will be readings as well. Tickets are $30 and all proceeds go to The Scott Miller Memorial Fund which was set up to provide for his two young daughters.

UPDATE: Tickets go on sale Monday (6/10) at noon.

If you are unfamiliar with Scott’s music, you can still download all of the out-of-print Game Theory albums for free over at the Loud Family website. 1986’s The Big Shot Chronicles and 1987’s Lolita Nation are both essential listening.
