Music Rising benefit T-shirt selling at Hard Rock Cafe

Derek Paiva
Advertiser Entertainment Writer

That U2 Vertigo Tour in Hawai'i concert T-shirt wearing out already?

The Hard Rock Cafe in Waikiki is selling a benefit tee — designed in a partnership between U2 guitarist The Edge's Music Rising campaign and Hard Rock International — exclusively. Crafted by award-winning designer Bill Cathcart and sported by The Edge at last year's Grammy Awards and various Vertigo Tour stops, the $30 T-shirt features the winged Music Rising logo on a black background. (Music Rising was co-founded by The Edge in 2005 in an effort to replace musical instruments lost by Gulf Coast musicians in that year's devastating hurricanes.)

The limited edition shirt is also available at other Hard Rock Cafes in Hawai'i and online at www.hardrock.com/. Proceeds from the T-shirt's sales benefit charity.
