I’m a big fan of the Bridge School concerts, and I’m sad to say this is a big blow to the event. ZZ Top might not have been the biggest draw (Jack Johnson and Norah Jones, arguably, are bigger to the general public), but they were the biggest curiousity factor in the bunch. People were really interested to see how ZZ would do in the Bridge’s acoustic setting.
Here’s the official word from the Bridge School web site:
The 22nd Annual Bridge School Benefit Concert
