Farm Aid has announced its lineup of artists who’ll participate in its 2011 concert, scheduled for August 13 at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan. The concert has been raising funds to keep American family farms operating and promoting family farm food since 1985.
Jason Mraz, Jamey Johnson, Jakob Dylan, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Will Dailey & the Rivals, Robert Francis, Pegi Young & the Survivors, Rebecca Pidgeon, Billy Joe Shaver and John Trudell will all join Farm Aid board members and mainstays Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young and Dave Matthews at Farm Aid 2011.
The all-day festival will celebrate 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.
