The Music Of Neil Young At Carnegie Hall

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Michael Dorf announced today the first artists confirmed to play a special tribute concert to take place February 10, 2011, at Carnegie Hall, celebrating the music of Neil Young. The initial, star-studded lineup of musicians honoring the legendary songwriter's music include: Patti Smith, Living Colour's Vernon Reid, DeVotchKa, Shawn Colvin, Bettye LaVette, Bebel Gilberto, Aimee Mann, Keller Williams, The Roots, Larry Campbell, Cowboy Junkies, and Mason Jennings, with more to be announced soon. The concert marks the seventh installment of an annual series to raise crucially needed funds for music education programs for underprivileged youth.

"Our decision to honor the music of Neil Young at Carnegie Hall generated instant, tremendous feedback," says Dorf. "We've already sold a significant number of tickets and premium packages, and we can't wait to share this incredible evening of music. Another sell-out crowd will bring the cumulative total donated by the series up to a half-million dollars."

Previous sold-out concerts presented by Dorf have honored the music of such timeless artists as Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, R.E.M., and The Who. 100% of the net proceeds from the concert will be given to six music education non-profits: The American Symphony Orchestra Music Notes, Church Street School of Music, Young Audiences, Music Unites All-Youth Choir, The Pinwheel Project, and FIKS (Fixing Instruments for Kids in Schools).
