In case you haven’t heard, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band are on tour. Now iconic guitarist-composer-producer-vocalist-arranger-actor-author-label head-disc jockey Stevie Van Zandt is making a limited number of his own private stash of damn good seats for the rest of the tour up for sale and proceeds from all the different package configurations support TeachRock.org.

Bono, Van Zandt, Jackson Browne, Martin Scorsese and Bruce launched TeachRock.org 11 years ago to provide free resources and lesson plans to help teachers, students and families. Its “Rock and Soul of America” history class is already taught in high schools in 30,000 stateside schools plus England, Spain and Norway.

According to its website, “Stevie Van Zandt founded TeachRock to keep music and arts in the DNA of school systems and empower teachers to engage a generation with the internet in their pockets. Stevie saw music as the way to present positive representations of all learners, make real-life connections between the classroom and student experiences, and inspire student success.”

The different “Charity Ticket Packages,” as they’re being called, are for all remaining shows on the 2023 tour, with a chance to join the guitarist in the Stevie Colada Lounge, get a photo op, and earn contest entry into an all-expenses paid Los Angeles round-trip with travel, four-night hotel stay, two V.I.P. tickets for Dec. 4 and 6, and access to “A Renegade Art Show” with a surprise host (according to TeachRock, a $20,000.00 windfall.)
