A Farmiliar Crew
The Farm Aid cohorts are gearing up for their annual benefit concert. As of press time, only the founding fathers – Neil Young, Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews – have been confirmed for the September 7 gig, but that’s bound to change in the near future as more artists are added to the lineup.
The concert, which raises funds for poor families in rural farming communities, will descend on the Germain Amphitheatre in Columbus, Ohio.
Tickets go on sale June 28 and range from $36-$78. However, certain artists – including Dave Matthews, for example – are offering pre-sale tickets to their fan club members. Proceeds from the event are donated to farm organizations throughout the States.
