"And they were all there, shining brightly, in honor of the one and only Emmylou Harris. Joan Baez, Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, Rodney Crowell, Allison Russell, Steve Earle, Shawn Colvin, Rosanne Cash, Sam Bush, Patty Griffin, Albert Lee, Margo Price, Buddy Miller and, yes, even the star of the evening herself Harris all performed during the charming and heartwarming A Tribute to Emmylou Harris & 25 Years of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass show."
"The concert was a way for HSB organizers to thank the 78-year-old Alabama native for 25 years of perfect attendance as well as for a wholly satisfying music career that stretches back to the late '60s. Kicking off just after 8 p.m., the concert was broken into two sets and ran some three hours. The large cast of stars would take turns at the microphone, usually singing just one number from a batch of tunes that were either written by or associated with Harris."
The Masonic in San Francisco hosted a sold-out tribute concert honoring Emmylou Harris as part of the 25th anniversary Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival. Performers included Joan Baez, Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, Rodney Crowell, Allison Russell, Steve Earle, Shawn Colvin, Rosanne Cash, Sam Bush, Patty Griffin, Albert Lee, Margo Price, Buddy Miller and others, with Harris also taking the stage. The show ran about three hours in two sets, and most artists sang one song associated with Harris. A 10-piece house band of longtime Harris collaborators accompanied the singers, with Buddy Miller serving as music director. Warren Hellman’s jacket and banjo appeared on stage.
