The former Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young bandmates will play to raise funds for Bridge School and the late Paul Newman’s Painted Turtle Camp for young people with serious medical conditions.
Painted Turtle executive director April Tani commented: “This event not only brings together amazing musicians and families, but also raises vital funds for two organisations committed to changing lives. It’s a day of music, fun, and philanthropy — what could be better?”
Organisers confirmed that Young and Stills will be joined by special guests for their “individual sets”, while teasing that there is a special “sunset performance” lined up.
“As the day progresses, Neil Young and Stephen Stills will take the stage for individual sets, joined by other talented performers to be announced,” Harvest Moon commented. “The event will culminate with a sunset performance, creating a magical atmosphere for all who attend. The festival-like day will also feature family-friendly activities, including face painting, food trucks, and much more.”
The pair reunited for the first time in four years last year at Stills’ annual Light Up The Blues fundraiser for Autism Speaks.
Meanwhile, Young recently said that he will perform a series of theatre shows later this year following the cancellation of his Spring tour with Crazy Horse. He also suggested that he’d be backed by guitarist Micah Nelson, bassist Corey McCormic and drummer Anthony Logerfo rather than Crazy Horse. “I can play a little bit of acoustic, and then have the band come out and play,” Young said. “They won’t be marathons. They won’t be two hours and 10 minutes of blasting rock’n’roll like it was with Crazy Horse.”
