Celebrate Brooklyn teams up with producer
Hal Willner again this year, for a musical tribute to Neil Young
on June 26 at 7:30 pm. Among the artists expected to sing Young’s
material at the Prospect Park Bandshell are Cat Power, Ron Sexsmith,
Iron and Wine, Jane Siberry (pictured), Antony, The Be Good Tanyas,
Jenni Muldaur, Bonfire Madigan, Joan Wasser and Stan Ridgway.
Celebrate Brooklyn’s Jack Walsh hints at even more can’t-yet-be-named
surprise guest stars.
Last summer, Willner, who also arranges the sketch music and
adaptations for "Saturday Night Live" and was formerly
the music producer for NBC’s "Night Music," helmed
a memorable homage to Leonard Cohen at the bandshell. This year’s
Neil Young revue promises to be just as entertaining.
The bandshell is located in Prospect Park, enter at Prospect
Park West and Ninth Street. Suggested admission is $3. For more
information, call (718) 855-7882 ext. 45 or visit www.celebratebrooklyn.org.
