Straight from Sierra Leone, the Refugee All-Stars are playing Woodstock tomorrow.
Aerosmith ax man Joe Perry and wife, Billie, who were blown away by a documentary about the Refugees, are sponsoring the guys’ gig on the lawn of the Unitarian Church in Woodstock, Vt.
“It’s really an amazing story,” Perry told the Track. “They formed the band in a refugee camp in 2001 where they lived in horrendous conditions. That’s where the filmmaker found them and started following them around.”
“They got a record out and scraped together some funding to tour, but they needed other sponsors, so we’re bringing them into Vermont,” said Joe, a part-time Green Mountain man.
The documentary about the band, aptly named “The Refugee All-Stars,” will screen tonight in downtown Woodstock.
