Tune Into 'A Song For Joe: Celebrating The Life Of Joe Strummer' On August 21st For Save Our Stages

On Joe Strummer’s birthday, Friday, August 21 at 3:00pm ET (12:00pm PT and 8:00pm BST), the music and arts community is coming together for a global event to celebrate Joe Strummer’s legacy as a solo musician and singer of The Clash. Produced by Jesse Malin, Jeff Raspe and Joe Strummer estate manager, David Zonshine, A Song for Joe: Celebrating the Life of Joe Strummer will be a two-hour event that will stream for free at JoeStrummer.com, with all donations benefiting Save Our Stages. The night will be hosted by Jesse Malin and will feature never before seen live footage of Strummer, alongside special performances and testimonials by many of the former Clash front man’s friends and peers. Joe’s wife Lucinda Tait says: “To see so many musicians and artists come forward to honor Joe is really touching. Community was always important to him. Whether it was playing music with friends, organizing all night campfires, or hijacking festivals, Joe was always focused on bringing people together. Even though we can't all be in the same room together, I cannot think of a better way for us all to feel united. Joe would have loved this.” Jesse Malin adds: “This tribute to Joe is not only a great way to honor him, but to also remind people how important his message is right now."
