Iggy Pop, Tom Morello, Perry Farrell & Others to Perform With Wayne Kramer

New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Wayne Kramer Official Website) - Punk rock pioneer and activist Wayne Kramer of MC5 fame will be honored in a fundraising performance event on Friday, May 1st at the Nokia Theater in Times Square. This special event carries a low ticket price of $25, and will feature very special guests including IGGY POP, TOM MORELLO, ETTY FARRELL & PERRY FARRELL, DON WAS, JERRY CANTRELL, BILLY BRAGG, HANDSOME DICK MANITOBA, GILBY CLARKE, BUN E. CARLOS, BOOTS RILEY, EVAN SEINFELD and more surprise guests. With early performances by Joan as Police Woman, Miggs, Ours, Crazy James. Hosted by MATT PINFIELD.

Performing songs together and individually from their respective catalogs, as well as collaborating on MC5 songs and anything else that strikes their fancy, this is sure to be an exciting evening of high-energy high-voltage rock and roll. "It's going to be just loose enough musically that anything might happen," jokes Kramer. "The only thing you'll need in order to be in the audience is an open mind... and maybe a set of ear plugs."

One hundred percent (100%) of the money raised on May 1st will go directly to support children and young adults who suffer from adversities such as addiction, physical and sexual abuse and chronic illness.

The resilient, irreverent, rapier-witted, amplifier-burning Wayne Kramer is in full effect today and relevant, at peace with himself, at least most of the time. 'I lost everything to addiction. I also forfeited my freedom to it,' Kramer says. "I'm living proof that there's life after drugs."

That's so much hard rock star power for $25, it's almost impossible to imagine! Please join us.

Teenaged leader of the notorious MC5, Wayne Kramer created a sonic assault in the late 1960s that still resonates in rock music. Now a friend to many younger musicians and non-musicians in recovery, telling the story of how he went from inner city underdog to guitar rebel to federal inmate No 00180190 to sober mentor and back to guitar rebel is an aspect of Kramer's character that is inexhaustible. Kramer is a well-respected and prolific film (Talladega Nights, HBO's Hacking Democracy) and television (HBO's East Bound and Down) composer. He is recognized by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the '100 Greatest Guitar Players of All-Time' and will release his 8th solo album Lexington, the soundtrack to the PBS documentary film The Narcotic Farm in Summer, 2009.
