Weyes Blood plays benefit w/ Bettye LaVette tonight before tour (dates)

October 24, 2016

Bettye LaVette, Weyes Blood and Alessio Bax will perform at the 2016 Aperture Foundation Benefit Party and Auction which happens tonight (10/24) at The Edison Ballroom in NYC. David Byrne and Jeff Garlin are among the hosts of this gala event, titled ‘Dear Bill,’ that is in honor of acclaimed photographer William Eggleston. The musical performances will be set to photos from Eggleston’s The Democratic Forest (which draws from his work in the ’80s). Tickets are on sale now, including a $1500 option with dinner.

You may be familiar with Eggleston’s work and not realize it, as his photos have been used on album covers by Big Star (Radio City), Spoon (Transference), The Silver Jews (Tanglewood Numbers), Primal Scream (Give Out But Don’t Give Up), and Jimmy Eat World (Bleed American), to name just a few.

Weyes Blood, whose new album Front Row Seat to Earth is out now, will also play Brooklyn’s Park Church Co-Op on November 10 which is $10 at the door. All tour dates are listed below:
