Playing For Change is a movement to connect the world through music.

"The act of playing music with people of different cultures, religions, economics and politics is a powerful statement. It shows that we can find ways of working together and sharing our experiences with one another in a positive way. Music has the power to break down the walls between cultures, to raise the level of human understanding."
~ Mark Johnson, founder, Playing for Change

The whole "playing for change" concept didn't come together for me until I watched the videos. It is both heart-warming and fascinating to watch the performance of each song seamlessly flow around the world. Grammy winning producer/engineer Mark Johnson and his Playing For Change team traveled for a decade with a single minded passion to connect the world though music.

The Playing for Change videos document local and street musicians in locations that range from the Santa Monica streets to post-apartheid South Africa, to the ancient sites of the Middle East, the Himalayas and beyond.



The show tomorrow night should be special as the Playing for Change band are only playing six dates and tomorrow night is the last show of the tour.

Tickets are $20.00 -- doors are at 7PM and the show starts at 9PM.
