Jackson Browne along with Crosby, Stills & Nash, Bonnie Raitt, Jason Mraz, the Doobie Brothers and Tom Morello will perform a benefit concert for Japan in California in August.
"The disaster in Fukushima is not only a disaster for Japan. It is a global disaster. We come together now across cultural boundaries, political and generational boundaries, to call for changes in the way we use energy, and in the ways we conduct the search for solutions to the problems facing humanity," says Jackson Browne. "We join with the people of Japan, and people everywhere who believe in a non-nuclear future."
Also attending will be John Hall, Kitaro, Jonathan Wilson and Sweet Honey In Rock with more to be announced soon.
Proceeds will be distributed to Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE).
"The MUSE concert will not only be a great show, it will hopefully entice the public to become better informed of the tremendous dangers of nuclear power," says Graham Nash. "We have to keep real and true information flowing so that people can act on it."
"We're so lucky to have been able to bring back some of the original MUSE team to collaborate with some new and younger artists for MUSE 2, so that we can immediately help with the Japan relief effort and raise funds and awareness for the no nukes issue," says Bonnie Raitt. "I'm excited to be a part of this important and truly collaborative effort. It's going to be a very special, one of a kind event."
The concert will take place at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View on August 7, 2011.
