Joe Strummer’s annual birthday celebration is happening worldwide today on “A Song For Joe” with many guests and never-before-seen footage. It’s a benefit for #SaveOurStages via NIVA’s Emergency Relief Fund. 

Nathaniel Rateliff and Jon Batiste performed a rendition of Sam & Dave’s “Hold On, I’m Coming” on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” last night and “All Or Nothing” off Rateliff’s new solo album, “And It’s Still Alright.” The album was written in tribute to the late Richard Swift and released on Valentine’s Day this year.
