Joe Henry will also act as the music director for the Joan Baez tribute and shared his thoughts on the legendary folk artist.
“Joan Baez is a mountain on our landscape, and has been for the entirety of my lifetime. As much as any artist I know, she has dismantled the wall between public artistry and personal conviction—investing each with the other, to create a body of work that, in the words of Woody Guthrie, ‘comforts the disturbed and disturbs the comfortable.’
“What a singular honor, then, for all us to gather in honor of her—and to benefit the heroic organization Sweet Relief, that provides financial assistance to musicians in health crisis. Come February 8th at San Francisco’s historic Masonic Auditorium—in her name, and in these wicked times—we will raise our voices as Joan has.”
Tickets for the Sweet Relief Fund Joan Baez tribute go on sale Friday, December 20.
