Organized by musicians Neil and Pegi Young, The Bridge School Benefit Concert was an annual, all acoustic, non-profit charity event held every October at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, from 1986 until 2016, with the exception of 1987. All proceeds directly benefited the operations of The Bridge School
The first concert was held October 13, 1986 to raise funds to start The Bridge School and the annual event became “THE” concert of the year in the Bay Area and beyond.
The Bridge School Collection, Vol. 1, Vol. 2, Vol. 3, Vol. 4, and Vol. 5 features songs from the past 30 years of the Annual Benefit Concert. Through the generosity of the artists and Apple, a portion of iTunes and label proceeds benefit The Bridge School.
