Tom Waits made the surprise announcement over the weekend that he will join the Oct. 27 Bridge School Benefit lineup, which already includes My Morning Jacket, Queens of the Stone Ages, the Killer and more.
Waits announced the performance on his Facebook page, stating that he’ll be playing an acoustic set featuring songs off of his 2011 album Bad As Me with his band, which includes Les Claypool on bass.
Also on Facebook Waits stated, “I had every good intention to stay home and work on my JD Salinger Halloween mask, but when Neil told me yesterday he was serving burnt cow’s eyes on a flat tire and it’s all gluten free, I invited myself!”
No word on when Waits plans to play live again beyond Bridge School, so this could be the only opportunity to see him live for the near future.
