House of Blues Sunset Strip hosts Elvis Costello, Steve Wonder, more for benefits

Elvis Costello , Dashboard Confessional, Stevie Wonder , The Strokes , Jewel and Counting Crows are set to play benefit concerts at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, CA, in the days leading up to the GRAMMY awards.

Stevie Wonder will perform at the venue on Feb. 6, and Counting Crows and Jewel will share a bill on Feb. 7.

All shows have sold out, according to House of Blues.
