The concert will serve as a benefit for The Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, which provides financial assistance for musicians in heath crisis. Henry will serve as the musical director of the concert, and says “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.” While Harris is looking forward to taking part in the tribute, “So happy to be a part of celebrating my dear friend Joan Baez!” (Variety)
