Working Californians (WCA) announced the artist line up for its second annual live Labor Day benefit concert, NightShift 2013, set for August 30th. Soul singer and R&B superstar Aaron Neville and multiple Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter Lucinda Williams headline this year’s line up, which also features performances by New Orleans-based roots rock band The Iguanas and Jamaican reggae singer Etana. Appearing on one outdoor stage in downtown Los Angeles at Lot #7 next to STAPLES Center, this diverse array of great music talent is performing to benefit Working Californians’ new nonprofit, which fosters social innovation and invests in improving low-income communities. Exclusive presale tickets will be available for members of Working Californians, IBEW Local 11, IBEW Local 18 and AXS subscribers beginning at 10 am PT on Friday, Aug. 9. “This Labor Day weekend kick-off concert will honor working men and women and the businesses that believe in strong labor-management partnerships,” said Brian DArcy, Co-Chair of Working Californians. “Following the success of last years concert, Working Californians promises to deliver significant resources to support these worthy programs.” Last year’s concert featured Crosby Stills & Nash and Tom Morello: The Night Watchman at Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE and was tremendously successful at raising thousands of dollars to fight the anti-worker rights initiative Prop 32. “This second annual concert will unite performances, artists and action to raise awareness and help improve communities for working families,” said Marvin Kropke, Co-Chair of Working Californians. “We must fight to bring necessary attention and resources to these important causes. Today we are renewing this vital effort.” "We are excited and looking forward to being a part of the Working Californians benefit and honored to share the stage with these other great artists," said The Iguanas. “I will be there to do a true performance from the heart as always, one that everyone will remember. It's also for a great cause and I'm happy to be a part if it. Let go of everything and come and enjoy this diverse blend of music. Live and live life. One perfect love!” said Etana. Working Californians is a research and advocacy organization working to create an environment of innovation and entrepreneurship where working families, businesses and the economy thrive. WCA focuses on social innovation and entrepreneurship, economic recovery and low-income housing.
