It’s definite–Johnny Depp will once again join forces with The Kids to play concerts in honor of bandmate Bruce Witkin’s late mother; the Sheila Witkin Memorial Reunion Concerts will take place next Friday, August 29th and Saturday, August 30th, at the Club Cinema, 3251 Federal Highway, Pompano Beach, Florida. Although the lineup of bands varies from night to night, The Kids are scheduled to play both concerts. Johnny’s participation was mentioned by E! News on the Daily 10 on August 21st, and confirmed by JD himself when he called in to the Paul and Young Ron Morning show on 105.9FM this morning. His three bandmates–Bruce Witkin, Joey Malone, and Beano Hanti–were in the studio, while Johnny was still “across the puddle” in Europe, but all of The Kids sounded enthusiastic and very much looking forward to their gig.
Tickets are available at Ticketmaster–get ’em while you can! Proceeds from the concerts benefit the Sheila Witkin Foundation and the Dan Marino Foundation. To hear the radio station podcast of Johnny Depp’s interview with The Kids, CLICK HERE and select “The Johnny Depp Interview.”
