Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Steven Tyler hosted his intimate concert performance “STEVEN TYLER…OUT ON A LIMB” at Lincoln Center’s David Geffen Hall on May 2nd. The award winning director Brett Ratner and the legendary frontman collaborated on a unique experience to benefit Janie’s Fund, Tyler’s charitable initiative to help girls overcome the trauma of abuse and neglect. Named after his hit song “Janie’s Got A Gun,” Janie’s Fund is a collaboration between Tyler and leading non-profit organization Youth Villages established to help girls overcome the trauma of abuse and neglect. Launched in November 2015, Janie’s Fund offered a historic 54 days of impact coinciding with the 26th anniversary of the release of the song. For more information, please visit: www.JaniesFund.org. "I'm digging deep and finding some real buried treasure for this one. I've never performed quite like this before,” said Tyler. "I'm telling it like it is and getting to perform with some extremely talented musicians and dear friends from Nashville. For this show, we’re taking it up close and personal and truly going...OUT ON A LIMB." The intimate performance was to benefit Tyler's charitable cause, Janie's Fund, which supports girls that have fallen victim to abuse and neglect. The event also featured a silent auction that included items like Tyler's Hennessy Venom GT Spyder and priceless experiences like a five-day stay at Tyler’s Hawaiian home and an opportunity to attend the Emmy® Awards in Los Angeles.
