BluesBand concert for Vets?

[OldTimer]

There's a concert scheduled 3/28 in Palm Springs to raise money for 'Scars to Freedom,' a nonprofit aimed at providing free scar treatment and recovery services to war veterans. The line-up includes Mick, and unless it's Mick doing a solo appearance, I'm thinking it's probably with the Blues Band. Way to show your big ol' heart for a great cause, Mick! (This is during a break between the Mac's tour dates.)

Hollywood is coming to the desert as entertainment moguls from producer/rapper Timbaland to legendary musician Mick Fleetwood and a star-studded list of others are set to perform an exclusive concert for soldiers and war veterans in Indian Wells this month.

The first Scars to Freedom black-tie charity gala is scheduled for March 28 at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden and Hyatt Grand Champions Resort, Villas and Spa.

Proceeds will benefit Scars for Freedom Inc., a nonprofit organization based in Indian Wells that aims to provide free scar treatment and recovery services to war veterans.

The event has already invited 500 servicemen and women to attend free of charge, and expects more than 5,000 other guests and celebrities, said Guadalupe Ponte, a dermagraphic specialist at the Scar Treatment Center of the Desert and founder of Scars to Freedom.

First lady Michelle Obama also will address the soldiers at the event via satellite, said gala executive producer Brian Quintana, with the concert to be simulcast to troops all over the world, including Iraq and Afghanistan.
