Julianne Moore, Karen Elson and British glam rockers the Struts will be on hand for a special edition of Soho Sessions Concert series supporting Everytown for Gun Safety. The concert, which he co-presents Rolling rock CEO Gus Winner, will be held on June 5th.
Moore — founding president of the Everytown Creative Council — will co-host the event with Elson, while the Struts, who released their latest album, Pretty Vicious, last November, will deliver the top performance of the night. The evening will aim to raise awareness and support for Everytown's work to combat and prevent gun violence across the country.
“Gun violence is a preventable epidemic, and an organization like Everytown for Gun Safety brings vital education and awareness to communities nationwide,” Wenner said in a statement. “I am delighted to be partnering with Soho Sessions for this special event to help put an end to the urgent issue of gun violence.”
“To stop shootings, we don't just need to change the laws – we also need to change the culture, which is why Everytown is so grateful to Gus Wenner and RWE Partners for assembling this group of creative heavyweights,” said the president of Everytown. , John Feinblatt added. “Right now, gunshots are part of the daily soundtrack in too many American communities, and artists like the Struts, Karen Elson and Julianne Moore are using their talents to sound the alarm and rally support.”
Produced by RWE Partners, Soho Sessions launched in 2021 as a special invitation-only concert series held in an intimate New York City loft location. Previous installments have featured performances by the likes of Marcus King, Joe Bonamassa, Robert Randolph, Steve Earle, Larkin Poe, Louis Cato and Brittney Spencer. The events have also doubled as fundraisers, with a performance in September 2023 featuring Lucas Nelson and Emily King raising money for an organization helping those struggling with mental health issues following the Maui wildfires.
