BRUCE COCKBURN AND SAM PHILLIPS TO APPEAR IN A BENEFIT CONCERT AT THE
HERMOSA BEACH PLAYHOUSE

True North/Rounder recording artist Bruce Cockburn and Nonesuch
recording artist Sam Phillips will be appearing at the Hermosa Beach
Playhouse on Tuesday, August 24, 2004 at 7:30 PM in a special benefit
concert for the Guacamole Fund.

The Guacamole Fund is a non-profit organization that produces events
for educational, environmental, cultural, and service organizations
that work in the public interest. This is the second in the Home
Grown Series.

Bruce Cockburn, Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist
extraordinaire, has recently released his 27th studio album "You've
Never Seen Everything." Over the course of three decades Bruce's
ability to distill political events, spiritual revelations, and
personal experience into rich, compelling songs have made him one of
the world's most celebrated artists. Along with his hall of fame
induction, Cockburn has been honored with numerous awards since he
first launched his solo career in 1970 including the Tenco Award for
Lifetime Achievement in Italy and 20 gold and platinum awards in
Canada. He will be playing solo acoustic.

Sam Phillips's recently released latest album, "Boots and a Shoe,"
like her "Fan Dance,"on Nonesuch is fiercely intimate in atmosphere
and seriously stripped down in arrangement—not so much unplugged as
beautifully unvarnished. Although Sam has long been admired for her
coolly modern take on Beatles-esque songwriting and studio craft on
Virgin Records, she decided to move away from elaborate pop production
and 21st century technological upgrades with "Fan Dance." Since then
she has stuck to this road less traveled.

The Hermosa Beach Playhouse is a comfortable and intimate art deco
theatre with seating for about 500 and is located at 710 Pier Avenue
in Hermosa Beach at the corner of Pacific Coast Highway. There is
plenty of free parking adjacent to the theatre.

Tickets are on sale now. General Admission tickets are $25.00 , there
is no service charge.
