Ziggy Marley is visiting a school in LA for Little Kids Rock. Read more here.

During Mr. Marley's 90 minute visit, the Little Kids Rock students will play eight songs which will include cover and student written pieces, a Ziggy Marley song titled, "Love is my religion" and a Bob Marley selection titled, "Three Little Birds." Following the performances there will be a Q&A session between the students and the artist. Ziggy will present an Ovation Celebrity Deluxe guitar to Belvedere Middle School, courtesy of Ovation Guitars, a Fender PA courtesy of Fender musical instruments along with a number of other musical gifts.

"For years, Ziggy Marley's music has celebrated people uniting to make the world a better place. His music is a source of inspiration not only for our students, but also for a wide range of people," said Dave Wish, Executive Director for Little Kids Rock. "We are delighted that he takes time out of his busy schedule to meet with our kids and to show them and all of us in the adult world just how important music education is for kids."

Ziggy Marley is an active member of the organization's Honorary Board of Directors, and is just one of the musical and philanthropic greats that support Little Kids Rock's music education efforts. Other Honorary Board members include Bonnie Raitt, Paul Simon, B.B. King, Jason Newsted, Les Paul, and Brad Delson of Linkin Park.

After an incredibly long time on the road, LINKIN PARK are finally taking some well-deserved time off. Guitarist BRAD DELSON says that after all the time promoting Minutes To Midnight, it'll be nice to take a little time off. After taking a step back, he says it'll be fun to, quote, "put the record back in our CD player, listen to it, appreciate all the things that we've done over the last couple years."
