Neil Young enlists Norah Jones and Father John Misty for the musical gathering.

Young’s Harvest Moon: A Gathering, will be the first charity concert to benefit The Bridge School since the musician’s popular annual Bridge School Benefit series ended in 2016. The popular show began in 1986 and over the years more than 100 artists including Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Metallica performed and helped raise money for the school. 

The daytime benefit concert will take place at the Painted Turtle camp north of Los Angeles on September 14 and will help raise money for The Bridge School, which allows children with serious medical conditions to get a free education.

“Shortly after the date for the event was selected and Young agreed to perform, organizers realized that September 14 was the day of the night of the Harvest Moon, which enhances the specialness of the occasion,” a press release explains. “Included with each ticket is an all-star celebrity chef picnic cooked and served by Southern California’s top chefs, and a beer and wine tasting from select California breweries and wineries.” 

Tickets go on sale today.
