Debbie Harry emceed a benefit concert for Ivan Julian at City Winery last night.  Lenny Kaye opened the two and a half hour concert with The Foundations’ “Build Me Up Buttercup” which rolled on with  Ian Humter,  Richard Hell, Vernon Reid with Burnt Sugar (performing Prince and Bowie tunes), Garland Jeffreys, Dictators, Bush Tetras, and more. Just a great ride with New York City rock and roll royalty and some moving tributes for and by the seriously ill Ivan Julian.

The benefit on Wednesday night sold out quickly and a second show was added this Saturday, May 7th.

Blank Generation

Rock on
