Serving Seniors will kick off its second half-century of service to San Diego’s low-income and homeless seniors in style with a celebratory concert featuring Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitar legend Don Felder. Felder, formerly of The Eagles, with a legacy as one of the most innovative riff-generating songwriters of the modern rock era, released his first new solo album in seven years in April 2019. Titled "American Rock ’N’ Roll" it showcases Felder’s versatile artistic talents, consisting of 11 high-energy rockers mixed with touching, thoughtful ballads. However, Felder’s plans for touring were put on hold due to the pandemic. Tickets are available now for this private concert and benefit at the Serving Seniors website. The concert takes place on Saturday, October 2, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Marriott Marquis, San Diego Marina. Get tickets here! Individual ticket: $375 Become a sponsor today! Click here.
