Schock met Reeves, a fellow Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, a few years ago when the Vandellas frontwoman was performing at a jazz club at Baltimore, Schock\u2019s hometown. Schock said she immediately knew she wanted to perform with the R&B pop singer, and the closing of \u201cA View From the Throne\u201d presented a perfect opportunity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For Schock, a two-decade San Franciscan, the idea of bringing four generations of female performers together for the benefit concert was very much in the ethos of the all-girl groups she and Reeves helped make famous.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In addition to For Horses\u00a0\u2014 whose vocalist Claudia Santino, bassist Codi Farmer, drummer LJ Jones, and guitarists Camy Corcoran and Kayla Krueger are in their 20s\u00a0\u2014 Schock will also be joined onstage by 15-year-old Presley Asuncion, the lead singer of San Francisco band Peaboo and the Catz.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For Schock, the intergenerational exchange goes back to her adolescence in Baltimore when she would sneak backstage after concerts to photograph her favorite musicians. Having the camera, she noted, gave her entry into the scene and she still remembers what it felt like meeting her rock \u2019n\u2019 roll heroes including Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper and the J. Geils Band.<\/p>\n
