A Show Not to Be Missed

On Saturday, December 17th, the Tipitina's Foundation is hosting a benefit concert with two of America's most legendary musicians: Arlo Guthrie and Willie Nelson. This performance represents the final leg of the Arlo Guthrie & Friends "City of New Orleans" music tour, which will raise money to buy instruments and professional music gear for New Orleans musicians. Starting in Chicago and ending in New Orleans, Arlo and his group of family and friends will take the famous train southbound and make stops along the way, culminating with a performance at Tipitina's, where his longtime friend Willie Nelson will join him.

The Guthrie Foundation and the Tipitina's Foundation are joining together with music instrument manufacturers to restore the music infrastructure in New Orleans and the surrounding areas. MusiCares, The Recording Academy's safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need, will help distribute "the gear" along with Tipitina's Foundation.
