Joe Walsh’s VetsAid Concert Featuring Special Guests Kool & the Gang, Toto & More
Joe Walsh, best known for being a part of the Eagles, is gathering some of his famous friends for a very special charity concert. Walsh and his wife Marjorie founded VetsAid in 2017 to raise money and awareness for veterans around the country. This year, the VetsAid concert will take place at New York’s UBS Arena on Nov. 11, 2024.
Walsh shared about the upcoming event, “VetsAid 2024 is all about family, friends and faith. I honor my wife’s family and their legacy of service in her home borough of Queens. I honor and thank my extraordinary friends Eric Church (the Chief!), Toto and Kool & the Gang. I honor our collective faith in the power of music to bring fans of diverse backgrounds together in celebration and our faith in the power of love to unite us all as Americans to support a population of veterans that has sacrificed so much and asked for so little in return. We’ve got something for everyone at VetsAid this year — country, pop, rock, funk and gospel — so all aboard!”

As you can see, this year’s performers include country singer Eric Church, Toto and Kool & the Gang. Walsh will also be performing. Walsh and his wife were inspired to start VetsAid because of their families. Marjorie’s father was a World War II Air Force veteran and Purple Heart recipient while Walsh’s father died on active duty on Okinawa when Walsh was just 20 months old.
He continued, “War is hell for everyone involved. I lost my father when I was a baby, before I could even make a memory of him. I stopped counting the number of friends I lost in the Vietnam War or that came home forever scarred mentally or physically or both. We’ve only just begun to appreciate the long-term impacts on our troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan.”
