SONGS FOR A FRIEND: DONATIONS & EBAY ITEMS

Josh and Band Auction Off Exclusive Items and Gifts...

On Dec 11th, 2007, Josh Ritter returns to Club Passim in Boston for two shows in one special night for this Songs for a Friend concert, a benefit show for Kate Filanowski. Kate, a close friend of Josh and the band, was recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer at age 30. To help raise money to support her staggering medical bills, Josh will perform two (mostly) solo shows. Thank you to all who bought tickets so fast to support this cause and make both shows that night an even more special, sold-out event.

Further humbling all of us have been emails and phone calls we've received by wonderful friends and fans out there who would like to help support Kate and lessen the financial burden as she works toward recovery. So we've set up two other ways for people to help, and hope that some of you will...
