Hal Willner's Bill Withers Project
 

Visionary music producer Hal Willner returns to the Bandshell with a multi-artist celebration of acoustic R&B pioneer Bill Withers, whose Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone, Lovely Day, and Lean On Me only hint at a body of work that ranks him among our greatest songwriters.

Saturday, August 9, 7 p.m.
Nona Hendryx, James “Blood” Ulmer, Sandra St. Victor, and Glen Hansard of the Frames will be among the ensemble cast, but expect surprises and late additions. “No one puts on a better tribute concert than Hal Willner ... a sympathetic and generous listener with an almost preternatural ability to match performer to song, and a Rolodex to back it up.” (Variety)

$3 suggested donation. At the Bandshell.
