Julien Baker, Death Cab For Cutie’s Ben Gibbard, Aaron Dessner of The National, The Hold Steady’s Craig Finn and Kevin Devine will all be appearing at a fundraiser in New York this December in honour of Frightened Rabbit’s late frontman Scott Hutchison.
Tiny Changes: A Celebration Of The Songs Of Scott Hutchison will be held at Rough Trade in Brooklyn on December 5th with all proceeds going towards the Scott Hutchison Fund, which Scott’s brother and bandmate Grant explains has been set up ‘in memory of our beloved Scott’:
“It will form the basis for a Mental Health Charity to be set up fully in the coming months. We hope to be able to help others the way Scott did with kindness, empathy and hope.”
That same month, Frightened Rabbit are due to play their first gig since the death of their singer at the Sleep In The Park event at the Kelvingrove Bandstand in Glasgow.
