The Bridge School Benefit Concert Still Happening

(Radio.com) Despite concerns to the contrary, the Bridge School Benefit Concert is scheduled to go on as planned this year. The concert has been something of an institution in the San Francisco area. Every fall, an all-star lineup led by Neil Young plays an acoustic concert at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Calif., with all proceeds directly benefitting the Bridge School.

Per the school's website, the school is "a non-profit organization whose mission is to ensure that individuals with severe speech and physical impairments achieve full participation in their communities through the use of augmentative and alternative means of communication and assistive technology applications and through the development, implementation and dissemination of innovative life-long educational strategies." The school was co-founded by Neil Young's wife, Pegi Young.

Following the news that Neil Young had filed for divorce from Pegi, combined with the fact that the concert's lineup has not yet been announced, some fans may have felt that the show might not go on this year.

The Bridge School has responded to these concerns via their official Facebook page; yesterday they posted a message saying, "The annual Bridge School Benefit Concert will take place on Oct. 25-26. As a school, we cannot control when the lineup and on-sale dates will be announced, be we will let you know as soon as we know."
