Paul McCartney will pick up the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song during a special event in the East Room of the White House on June 2.  Comedian Jerry Seinfeld and previous recipient of the honor Stevie Wonder will join Elvis Costello, Jack White, Emmylou Harris and Dave Grohl in paying tribute to the former Beatle.  McCartney hinted at performing himself at the event when he closed his recent webchat with fans with the comment, 'There's been some rumours and I think we can give you a clue.  Think White House. Think playing...'. 
Season two of the PBS TV series Live From the Artists Den opens the week of July 5 with a Ringo Starr performance recorded at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
