Americana Artists Respond to Hurricane Katrina
In response to the devastation in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama caused by Hurricane Katrina, numerous Americana artists have offered their services for benefit concerts and CDs to raise money for the relief and rebuilding effort.
On September 20, a benefit concert was held at Madison Square Garden in New York to raise money for Katrina victims. The show, entitled "Big Apple/Big Easy," featured performances from Americana artists including Elvis Costello, Diana Krall, John Fogerty, Ry Cooder, Allen Toussaint, Buckwheat Zydeco, Clarence "Frogman" Henry, Dave Bartholomew, the Neville Brothers and the Meters.
On November 1, Wilco organized a show at Chicago's Auditorium Theatre for the benefit of the New Orleans Musician Relief Fund and the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans.
Dr. John, whose music is synonymous with New Orleans, will release a benefit CD entitled Sippiana Hericane on November 22. All proceeds from the CD's sales will be divided equally between the New Orleans Musicians Clinic, the Jazz Foundation of America and the Voice of the Wetlands.
