Eddie Veddar and Dixie Chicks Go Acoustic for the West Memphis 3

08/18/2010
.
We told you a little bit about this in yesterday's digest but Gibson has more details for you today: Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and the Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines will lend their voices and acoustic guitar playing to a Little Rock, Arkansas, rally in support of the West Memphis 3 on Saturday, August 28.

Both artists, along with "special guests," will perform at the Robinson Center Music Hall to increase awareness about "the continued injustice visited upon Jason Baldwin, Damien Echols, and Jessie Misskelley, collectively known as the West Memphis 3," according to PearlJam.com.

The event, called Voices for Justice: A Rally in Support of the West Memphis 3, will include new video messages from Baldwin, Echols and Misskelley, who remain in prison after being convicted 17 years ago of three murders they say they did not commit. "We are incredibly honored to have Eddie and Natalie lend their voices to this important evening," said Arksansas Take Action co-founder Capi Peck. "Their willingness to join us for Voices for Justice will help raise even more awareness about the profound injustice that continues to occur. We will not rest until our political and judicial leaders hear our voices and do the right thing." - more on this story
