On Wednesday, October 18th at PlayStation Theater Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello and Michael Dorf (Founder and CEO of City Winery) will be honored by Little Kids Rock, the national nonprofit dedicated to transforming lives by restoring, expanding, and innovating music education in public schools .

The annual Little Kids Rock Benefit which brings together artists and individuals who are passionate about giving the transformational gift of music to children in public schools across the US.

Emcee Michael McKean will bring to the stage special guests Bernie Williams, Bettye LaVette, Darlene Love, Keb' Mo', Mike Myers, Paul Shaffer, Will Lee and more.

As the leader in culturally-responsive, inclusive music education, Little Kids Rock partners with public school districts around the country to build music programs as diverse as the kids being served. Little Kids Rock trains teachers to run its innovative Modern Band curriculum, and donates accompanying curricula and instruments as necessary to teach popular music in a way that empowers students to experience instant achievement.

What began as a single-school guitar class has since exploded into a national movement that brings free, weekly music lessons to more than 320,000 public school children each year through the efforts of more than 2,000 teachers in 200 school districts nationwide.
