Wilco announced a plethora of new tour dates today - they added 11 cities, mostly west coast/PNW locations. In addition to more cities, the veteran musicians have also expanded the spread of their love for humanity. Sure, give them a hard time about the VW commercial (is that any different than being featured on AOL or MTV?), but these boys are working overtime to drum up some charity from fans. All proceeds from the sale of show posters (available at the shows) will be donated to local charities. From their website:
Wilco Show Posters For Charity:
21 June - Merriweather (DC) - http://www.dccentralkitchen.org/
Canned food drive - Needed most are canned beans, tuna, chicken, or salmon. 4 cans of food gets $10 off the event poster
25/26 June - NY/Brooklyn - http://826nyc.org/
29 June - Burlington - Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf (http://www.cvoeo.org/htm/FoodShelves/foodshelves.html)
Canned food drive - 2 cans of food gets $10 off the event poster
