Fri Jan 22 - Brooklyn, St. Ann's Warehouse - Benefit for Tuli Kupferberg - Tuli Kupferberg, the influential songwriter who co-founded the Fugs, suffered two strokes, in April and September 2009, which left him blind, confined to his apartment and in need of 24-hour care. He is recovering well—he is able to speak clearly—but has overwhelming medical expenses not covered by Medicare or the very modest publishing/royalties income he earns at the age of 86. A number of his friends and admirers are coming to his aid by performing in a benefit concert produced by Hal Willner, including his fellow Fugs, John Kruth and an all-star band, Lou Reed, Jeffrey Lewis, Sonic Youth, Pete Stampfel, John Zorn and others who will be announced soon. Friday, January 22 at 7:30PM, at St. Ann's Warehouse, 38 Water St, DUMBO, Bklyn. - tix are 75 $ or 125 $ and are available here - https://www.ovationtix.com/trs/pe/7900805
