On October 1st, at both 8 and 11 pm, the duo will host Costello Sings Lowe/Nick Sings Elvis at San Francisco’s American Music Hall, reports Slicing Up Eyeballs. The name accurately describes the event, as Costello will perform songs written by Lowe, and vice versa. Of course, both men are already pretty familiar with one another’s material; Lowe produced Costello’s first five albums, plus 1986’s Blood and Chocolate. What’s more, Costello’s 1979 hit “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding” was originally written by Lowe in 1974.
Tickets for the event, which cost $125 or $200 (the latter includes dinner before the 8 pm show) are on sale now at gamhtickets.com. Proceeds will help benefit the previously mentioned Richard de Lone Special Housing Fund, a nonprofit organization with the mission of establishing a state-of the-art residential group home in San Francisco.
