Patti Smith, J Mascis & More Added to Dorf’s Music of Bowie Shows, Live Streaming Available


Michael Dorf Music of David Bowie Tribute final lineupWith only a few days to go, the finishing touches are being made to Michael Dorf’s much-anticipated The Music of David Bowie tribute shows. Today, the organizers announced the final additions to the lineups, as well as shared details on how those who missed out on tickets to the sold-out affairs can follow along at home.

The Carnegie Hall show, which is set to take place Thursday, March 31, finds Patti Smith and Eugene Hutz of Gogol Bordello joining the already star-studded musical cast, while Friday’s show at Radio City Music Hall is getting a boost from Esperanza Spalding, Kyp Malone of TV On the Radio, and Ron Pope. Also, J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr, Rickie Lee Jones, Choir! Choir! Choir!, and the New York City Youth Chorus have signed on for both nights, and Tariq & Bilal will be joining The Roots for their sets*. Kronos Quartet will also accompany Amanda Palmer, Jherek Bischoff, and Anna Calvi on Friday. For the complete lineups for both shows see below.

If you weren’t able to score tickets to the shows, there is now an option to live stream the Radio City Music Hall concert. Dorf has partnered with the Melodic Caring Project, a non profit who streams live concerts into the hospital rooms of critically ill children, to make the show available to a global audience. All you need to do to gain access is to donate $5 via the ammado donation platform. 100% of the revenues will go to the the non-profit organizations benefiting from the concerts, which include: Young Audiences New York, Little Kids Rock, Church Street School of Music, The Center For Arts Education, TON, Grammy in the Schools and the D’Addario Foundation.

*Update 3/30: Per a story on Pitchfork, it appears The Roots will not be performing at the tribute shows due to “bitchassness.”
