Top Austin acts to play benefit (Tsunami Relief)
http://www.statesman.com/metrostate/content/metro/01/3benefit.html
"I started at the top," Hall says of his first call to build a lineup, "and when Willie said, 'Count me in,' I knew we were off and running."

Willie Nelson heads a stellar cast of local musicians, including Patty Griffin, Spoon, Joe Ely, Alejandro Escovedo, Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis and the Geezinslaws, who will play the "Tsunami Relief — Austin to South Asia" concert Sunday at the Austin Music Hall. Proceeds from the $25 tickets, available at all Star Tickets outlets, will go to the Red Cross, UNICEF and Doctors Without Borders organizations. If the 3,000-capacity Music Hall doesn't sell out in advance, tickets will be available at the door.

"This came together unbelievably quick," says Hall. "The scope of the tragedy has really affected everyone I've talked to. People really want to pitch in." All acts are donating their talents.

7 p.m. this Sunday 1/9 at the Austin Music Hall. Way to go local talent!!

1. Thanks for posting that item....
I had heard about it on KGSR this morning. I think Ray Price may also be on the bill.

It's a great lineup for some great organizations.
