Jefferson Starship Honors and Celebrates America's Vietnam Veterans - Salute to America Concert at DAR Constitution Hall
On Sunday, November 8, 2015 at 2:00 PM, JEFFERSON STARSHIP will perform music by legendary rock group Jefferson Airplane to honor and celebrate veterans on the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War.
In the 1960s - at the time of the Vietnam War - Jefferson Airplane was the biggest rock group in America, and a favorite of the troops in 'Nam. This historic, family-friendly SALUTE TO AMERICA concert takes place in Washington, DC at DAR Constitution Hall. The DC date marks Jefferson Starship’s fifth appearance at Help Hospitalized Veterans' Salute to America concert series.
Jefferson Starship - created by Paul Kantner, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Jefferson Airplane founder - features David Freiberg, former Jefferson Airplane band member, and is fronted by Grammy-nominated singer Cathy Richardson, doing Grace Slick proud. (http://bit.ly/1Pe24ww)
