Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Tom Morello is organizing a major benefit concert to support the families of two Minneapolis residents whose deaths have sparked national conversation. The 'Solidarity & Resistance' event will take place Friday, Jan. 30, at First Avenue in Minneapolis, featuring performances from Morello, Rise Against, Al Di Meola, Ike Reilly and additional special guests.
"We are coming to Minneapolis where the people have heroically stood up for their neighbors and themselves, for democracy and justice," Morello said in a statement. "Ain't nobody coming to save us except us and it's now or never."
