Farm Aid Adds Eight Artists
Farm Aid 2003 has added eight new artists to its lineup: Vanessa Carlton, Hootie & the Blowfish, Emmylou Harris, Daniel Lanois, Los Lonely Boys, Aaron Brotherton, Titty Bingo and Billy Bob Thornton.
They join previously announced performers Sheryl Crow, Brooks & Dunn, Trick Pony and headliners Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews for the concert, which will be held Sept. 7 at Germain Amphitheater in Columbus, Ohio.
Ticket packages and memorabilia are currently up for auction on eBay.com, with proceeds benefiting the Farm Aid organization. For more information, visit Farmaid.org.
The annual concerts, organized by Farm Aid founders Nelson, Young and Mellencamp in 1985, have raised more than $24 million to assist and promote the U.S. family farm system.
