MUSICARES TO HONOR SMOKEY

MusiCares MAP Fund will honor Smokey Robinson with its 12th annual tribute concert on 5/19 at the Novo, formally Club Nokia, in Los Angeles.

Robinson will receive the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award in recognition of his dedication and support of the MusiCares MAP Fund as well as his commitment to helping others with the addiction recovery process. All proceeds will benefit the MusiCares MAP Fund, which provides members of the music community access to addiction recovery treatment regardless of their financial situation.

El DeBarge, Kem, Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds and Cee Lo Green will perform at the event as will Robinson. Actor/ comedian Cedric the Entertainer will be the host. Additional performers will be announced shortly.

Neil Portnow, President/CEO of MusiCares and The Recording Academy said Robinson is " a passionate advocate for the MusiCares MAP Fund, and our work to help members of the music industry facing addiction. It is a genuine pleasure to honor a true musical icon and a courageous supporter of the recovery community."

Motown Records founder Berry Gordy will serve as the Honorary Tribute Chair for the event. For seating information, contact Wynnie Wynn at [email protected].
