Metallica (http://www.livedaily.com/artists/150.html), Jerry Lee Lewis (http://www.livedaily.com/artists/424.html) and Tom Waits (http://www.livedaily.com/artists/201.html) are among the diverse acts set to play the 21st annual edition of Neil Young (http://www.livedaily.com/artists/156.html)'s Bridge School Benefit (http://www.livedaily.com/artists/2617.html).
The shows--which typically feature acoustic sets--are set for Oct. 27 and 28 at their usual home, the San Francisco Bay Area's Shoreline Amphitheater. Tickets for both dates go on sale Sunday (9/9), according to promoter Live Nation.
The full lineup for both shows also include Eddie Vedder (http://www.livedaily.com/artists/85.html) with Flea (http://www.livedaily.com/artists/62477.html) and Jack Irons (http://www.livedaily.com/artists/72855.html); Tom Waits with Kronos Quartet; John Mayer; Tegan and Sara; and Regina Spektor (http://www.livedaily.com/artists/181283.html).
The concerts benefit the Bridge School, which serves severely speech-impaired children in the San Francisco Bay Area. Young's wife, Pegi, and Jim Forderer--both parents of children with severe speech and physical impairments--co-founded the school in 1986 along with Dr. Marilyn Buzolich.
