Johnny Depp took to the stage Friday night and jammed with his former band The Kids to help raise money for a children’s charity in Florida. About 2,500 people cheered on the Oscar-nominated actor as he strapped on a guitar and sang backup vocals during the power-pop group’s 90-minute set. Depp’s partner Vanessa Paradis, and their 9-year-old daughter, Lily-Rose, were also in the crowd.

Called “The second annual Sheila Witkin Memorial Reunion Concert”, the benefit honored The Kids’ late manager. All of the money raise will go towards the Dan Marino Foundation, which funds programs for children with special needs.

Depp originally joined the band when he was a high school student in Florida. After their bid to grab a record deal fell through, Depp dropped out and decided to pursue a career in actor. And the rest they say, is history.
