The Stan Greenspon Holocaust and Social Justice Education Center in Charlotte, NC will be hosting Rush's Geddy Lee this evening for a community commemoration of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and Rush is promoting the event as a special one-off extension of Ged's My Effin' Life In Conversation book tour:

SPECIAL GEDDY LEE EVENT - JAN 27, 2025
Charlotte, North Carolina - we will see you on MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 2025 at 7pm ET @ Sarah Belk Gambrell Center for the Arts & Civic Engagement for a special edition of GEDDY LEE: IN CONVERSATION from My Effin' Life presented by the Stan Greenspon Centre.

We will also have a special merch table with limited number of signed books and posters for sale, in addition to other specialty items, so get your tickets here before we are sold out!

It sounds like the event will be under a similar format as Ged's previous In Conversation tour stops, where he was interviewed during the first portion and then conducted a fan Q&A in the second half. From the website:

Join us for this special edition of GEDDY LEE: IN CONVERSATION from My Effin' Life

The Fault Line Between Then and Now ("Grace To Grace" lyric)

The evening promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. As the curtain rises, Geddy Lee will offer fans an intimate look into the very fabric of his life-reflecting on his family and childhood, exploring the history of Rush, recounting his relentless pursuit of music, and sharing personal memories with his lifelong friends and bandmates, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart. Joined by a special guest interviewer, Geddy Lee will read key excerpts from his best-selling memoir My Effin' Life, followed by insights and stories drawn from his personal journey.

Fans will also have the opportunity to engage in a unique Q&A session, where Geddy Lee will answer their questions directly. We will also have a special merch table with a limited number of signed books and posters for sale, in addition to other specialty items, so get your tickets before we are sold out!...
