It's a benefit for FRESHFARM's Matching Dollars program, which helps make fresh food more affordable to customers who spend their government nutritional benefits (SNAP, WIC, SNFMNP) at market by matching purchases.
just to explain the high price tag.
I saw PG in 2007 or 2008 at Univ of Maryland.
I saw him a few times too. I was surprised that he was not particularly tight on solo piano. I know he is a composer, but I expected that songs he wrote 30 years ago had many years of practice. In any case, I still prefer to see the composer playing than a "cover" artist, as we would say for rock music.
I would prefer to separate the idea of going to shows and supporting foundations, but I guess I am free to go or not.
