HE KNOWS FROM WHENCE HE SPEAKS –

Nov. 4, 2023 – Though the rocker, known for his shredding guitar chops and wry sense of humor, has been known for his work in various lineups over the years, ( like the Eagles, to name one) none make him prouder than the one he assembles each year for VetsAid.

Nov. 4, 2023 – “California has the biggest homeless vet population—what’s up with that? A homeless vet? I can’t do the math on that,” he tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “I thought, ‘You know what? This is a place I can make a difference. I can do something about this.’ So we do what we can, and I feel good about it. Everybody comes, and it’s beautiful, because it’s just one big family.”

This year’s VetsAid will feature Jeff Lynne’s ELO, The War on Drugs, The Flaming Lips, Lucius and Walsh himself with special guest Stephen Stills when it hits the North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in San Diego on Sunday.

Helping veterans is a cause near and dear to Walsh’s heart — when he was just 20 months old, he lost his father Robert, an Air Force flight instructor, in a plane crash in Okinawa. He was raised between Kansas and New Jersey, and as he grew older, Walsh, 75, says he noticed a distinct lack of resources and support facing American vets and their families.
