Farm Aid Adds More Artists to 2011 Concert Lineup

Farm Aid announced an array of artists who will join the musical lineup for its 2011 concert, scheduled for August 13 at Livestrong Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan.

“Farm Aid is a movement inspired not only by the passion of Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young and Dave Matthews, but also by the more than 400 artists who have donated their performances at our shows over the years,” said Carolyn Mugar, executive director of Farm Aid. “This year, we are thrilled to welcome back several familiar faces to the Farm Aid stage as well as some first-timers for what is sure to be a remarkable day of music, food and inspiration.”

The all-day festival will be a celebration of music, family farmers and good food and will again feature HOMEGROWN concessions – family farm-identified, local and organic foods. Farm Aid’s HOMEGROWN Village will showcase hands-on activities that give concertgoers a chance to meet farmers, get their hands dirty and learn how family farmers are protecting our land and water, as well as connecting us to our roots.

Grammy weekend started off with a BANG and celebrating Neil Young. Neil Young sat in the audience as 20 of his best known songs were performed on stage.

Keith Urban, Dierks Bentley and Lady Antbellum and more than a dozen other artists gave performances honoring Neil Young as the MusiCares Person of the Year. The annual event celebrates an artist’s philanthropy each year as it raises funds for the music industry charity that provides financial, medical and personal assistance to artists in need.

A special thanks to Rum Chaser Records for these amazing pictures from the red carpet and the nights performances.
