Some of the artists at the benefit show were Feist, Bon Iver, David Byrne and Shara Worden.
Feist made her appearance feel like a coffeehouse cameo, with solo versions of “The Wagoner’s Lad,” an old folk song, and “Someday Baby,” a recent-vintage Bob Dylan tune. Singing in her warm, flexible voice, she easily held the spotlight by herself. The one exception was “Train Song,” a Vashti Bunyan ballad on which she welcomed Justin Vernon of Bon Iver. More than a dozen singers — members of most of the indie-rock acts on hand, including Bon Iver and Feist — huddled at one end of the stage to warble “This Land Is Your Land.” The gesture felt deferential and sweet, a nod to another big show in town that evening, which honored the folk singer Pete Seger.
This sounds like a cool way to get out the word of AIDS awareness. I think the only way AIDS will be stopped, or prevented from happening further will be to raise awareness. Although these indie rockers aren't as well known as A-listing hollywood actors, they are still getting people involved and getting their word out there.
Love the video. Great cause and the mocha club is legit. We do need Africa more than it needs us. I think at the rate people are trying to change the world, we'll be able to really make a difference. Rock On.
