LaVette, the critically acclaimed soul/R&B veteran, stole the show at President Obama's Inaugural concert with her emotional rendition of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come." Southern roots-rocker Isbell, who recorded with LaVette two years ago on the critically acclaimed album "The Scene of the Crime," launched a solo career in 2007 after six years as a singer/guitarist with the Drive-By Truckers.
The concert will raise funds for six music education non-profits. Details @ CarnegieHall.org,
