Julianne Moore, Karen Elson, and British glam rockers the Struts will be on-hand for a special edition of the Soho Sessions concert series supporting Everytown for Gun Safety. The concert, which is being co-presented by Rolling Stone CEO Gus Wenner, will take place June 5.
Moore — a founding chair of the Everytown Creative Council — will host the event alongside Elson, while the Struts, who released their most recent album, Pretty Vicious, last November, will deliver the night's headlining performance. The evening will aim to raise awareness and support for Everytown's work combating and preventing gun violence across the country.
“Gun violence is a preventable epidemic, and an organization like Everytown for Gun Safety is bringing crucial education and awareness to communities nationwide,” Wenner said in a statement. “I am very pleased to be partnering with the Soho Sessions for this special event to help put an end to the urgent issue of gun violence.”
“To stop the shooting, we don't just need to change the laws — we also need to change the culture, which is why Everytown is so grateful to Gus Wenner and RWE Partners for pulling together this group of creative heavyweights,” Everytown president , John Feinblatt, added. “Right now, gunfire is part of the daily soundtrack in too many American communities, and artists like the Struts, Karen Elson, and Julianne Moore are harnessing their talents to raise an alarm and rally support.”
Produced by RWE Partners, the Soho Sessions launched in 2021 as a special, invite-only concert series held at an intimate New York City loft location. Previous installments have featured performances like Marcus King, Joe Bonamassa, Robert Randolph, Steve Earle, Larkin Poe, Louis Cato, and Brittney Spencer. The events have also doubled as fundraisers, with a Sept. 2023 show with Lukas Nelson and Emily King raising money for an organization aiding those struggling with mental health issues after the Maui wildfires.
