Legendary folk singer and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Joan Baez will be celebrated with a tribute concert in February, featuring Bonnie Raitt, Rage Against the Machine‘s Tom Morello, Hozier, Lucinda Williams and more.
The event, A Night to Honor Joan Baez, will take place Feb. 8 at Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco, with Baez expected to perform. Other artists on the bill include Emmylou Harris, Rosanne Cash, Margo Price, Joe Henry and Taj Mahal, with promises of surprise guests and additional performers to be announced.
The concert is a benefit for Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, which provides services and financial assistance for career musicians and music industry professionals.
“We’re beyond thrilled to celebrate 30 years of Sweet Relief while honoring the great Joan Baez and her amazing career,” Aric Steinberg, executive director at Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, shares. “Joan has supported our charity for many years, and it’s a privilege to honor her this year alongside so many incredible artists. It will be a night to remember and I’m so grateful to Joan and all of the performers who will help ensure that our music community continues to have Sweet Relief as a resource for emergency financial assistance.”
