The fifth annual MusiCares MAP Fund benefit concert will honor multi-GRAMMY-winning Red Hot Chili Peppers co-founder and lead singer Anthony Kiedis, and it will take place for the first time at Club Nokia in Los Angeles on Friday, May 8, 2009.

Kiedis will be honored with the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award for his dedication and support of the MusiCares MAP Fund and for his commitment to helping other addicts with the addiction and recovery process. All proceeds will benefit the MusiCares MAP Fund, which provides members of the music community access to addiction recovery treatment regardless of their financial situation.

Hosted by Greg Behrendt, comedian and author of He's Just Not That Into You, the evening will feature a special performance by Kiedis along with Red Hot Chili Peppers bandmates Flea and Chad Smith, as well as performances by Thelonious Monster vocalist and "Celebrity Rehab" participant Bob Forrest with his son Elijah Forrest, musician/producer Josh Klinghoffer, the Mars Volta, the Neville Brothers' Ivan Neville, and Iggy Pop. DJ AM will perform live during dinner. Additional artists will be announced shortly.

"Addiction exists in all communities and across all socioeconomic lines, but too often the challenges of making a life in music can lead people down the heartbreaking path of dependence," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy and MusiCares. "When circumstances such as the economy and shifts in our industry come into play, the need for our services can become greater than ever. MusiCares exists to offer a beacon of hope and critical resources for members of the music community who are struggling with addiction. Anthony is a strong supporter of our cause and this is a perfect opportunity to recognize and honor his commitment."

"I've seen firsthand the physical and emotional toll addiction takes on people -- not just myself, but so many other artists and friends as well," said Kiedis. "The pain of addiction is leveled only by the promise of sobriety and the MusiCares MAP Fund provides access to the kind of resources that can help people genuinely change their lives. I'm proud to be honored and help raise funds for this critical work."

This year's MusiCares MAP Fund benefit is chaired by Cliff Burnstein, MusiCares Board President John Branca, Todd Ficeto, Peter Mensch, and Mary Pattiz. This event is made possible with the generous support of Goldenvoice, Jackson Limousine Service, Swing House, and Ticketmaster.

MusiCares ensures that music people have a place to turn in times of financial, medical and personal need by providing programs and services including emergency financial assistance, educational workshops, and flu shots, hearing tests and medical/dental screenings.

The MusiCares MAP Fund allows access to addiction recovery treatment and sober living resources for members of the music community regardless of their financial circumstances, and Safe Harbor Rooms, weekly addiction support groups and the MusiCares Sober Touring Network provide ongoing recovery support.

Established in 1989 by The Recording Academy, MusiCares provides a safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need.

Named for the Musicians' Assistance Program, the MusiCares MAP Fund represents the joint goal of MAP and MusiCares to provide members of the music community access to addiction recovery treatment regardless of their financial circumstances.

Peggy la mama de Kiedis escribio los siguiente en el blog de su MySpace

"My son will be honored. I'm not sure if the public has access to this news, so I thought I would share it with you. I'm very, very proud of him, and so is his Dad. We hope you are too. Have a wonderful weekend!!!"


I have no idea why John isn't going to be at the MAP celebration. His mom called today to tell me she would be volunteering at the event and her husband would be in the audience. I've not heard anything as to why John isn't performing with them. Also, I don't ask.....I think Ronnie Wood is performing with them. :)"

"Mi hijo será homenajeado. No estoy segura si el público tiene el acceso a estas noticias, entonces pensé que yo lo compartiría contigo. Estoy muy, muy orgullosa de él, y su Papá también. Esperamos que usted lo estés también. ¡¡Tengan un maravilloso fin de semana!!!"

"No tengo ni idea por qué John no va a estar en la celebración de MAP. Su mamá llamó hoy para decirme que ella se ofrecería en el acontecimiento y su marido estaría en el auditorio. No he oído nada en cuanto a por qué John no interpretara con ellos. También, no pregunto..... Pienso que Ronnie Wood estará con ellos.:)"


Dejo un video, los que hablan ingles haganos el favor de traducir xD
