JOE WALSH
The most famous rock star Montclair ever has produced, Joe Walsh, will return to the town for a homecoming benefit concert Oct. 3, in the Montclair High School auditorium. Walsh graduated from the school in 1965.
Proceeds from the concert will go towards library renovation at the school, and the creation of a media center.
According to the web site of the Montclair Fund for Educational Excellence, tickets will go on sale Sept. 1.
Walsh will also meet with students in an assembly on Oct. 2, according to the web site.

Awesomesauce! I had been hoping for the Wellmont, but this is even more personal! I’ve got a gig in Collingswood that day, but may have to make sure I get to MHS that night!
Went to school with Joe’s younger brother at MHS and am a rabid Eagles fan! Must be there!!

But we kept following Joe , Live , county fairs.. you’ll pardon the pun.. Every album and band he pulled together..
