Music Rising
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Music Rising is a charity founded, with much support from U2's The Edge, to help in the purchasing of new instruments for the musicians of New Orleans affected by Hurricane Katrina
It was announced in early September 2006 that Green Day would join U2 in the studio to record a cover version of the song "The Saints Are Coming" by The Skids to benefit Music Rising. To coincide with the recording, both bands performed a live version of the song during the NFL Monday Night Football Pregame show of the New Orleans Saints/Atlanta Falcons game on September 25, 2006. "The Saints Are Coming" was digitally released on October 31st and the single on November 6, 2006.
