Band members announced Wednesday that the Nov. 30 opening show of their
winter tour, the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, N.J., will be a benefit
concert. All ticket and merchandise sales will go to the Bama Works Sandy Relief
Fund, established at the Community Foundation of New Jersey.
Sandy's assault more than two weeks ago created widespread damage and power
outages in New Jersey and New York.
The Grammy-winning group will wrap up the tour Dec. 22 in Philadelphia.
Tickets are still on sale for the Nov. 30 show, which features Jimmy
Cliff.
