All-star Tribute Pays Homage to Dylan, Benefits Music For Youth
Patti Smith, Phil Lesh, Cat Power, and Seal are just a few of the
dozen artists slated to pay tribute to Bob Dylan at a benefit concert
at NYC's Avery Fisher Hall this November. A benefit event for the
Music For Youth foundation, the Dylan tribute follows on the heels of
MYF's 2005 homage to Joni Mitchell, which raised $130,000 to further
the organization's efforts to orchestrate the collaboration of music
industry executives and educators to bring music education to at-risk
youth.
Indicating the extreme breadth and depth of Dylan's musical influence
over the past 40 years, performers range from the avant-garde pianist
Philip Glass to recent indie favorites Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.
"There are so many talented songwriters Dylan's contemporaries and
younger who are inspired by his genius," noted event producer Michael
Dorf, who also produced the Mitchell concert last year. "We could have
booked a full week of shows."
The concert will be held November 9th, 2006, at 8:00 PM at the Avery
Fisher Hall at the Lincoln Center in New York City. While most of the
concert-only tickets have been snatched up already, tickets that
include admittance to a pre-show VIP reception are still available for
$350, $500, and $1,000. Further information about the event and Music
For Youth's mission is available at http://www.musicforyouth.org.
