According to Variety.com, it has been announced that an all-star tribute concert honoring the late Gram Parsons will be taking place at the Troubadour on November 11 with three nights before the country-rock pioneer is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. One of Parsons’ key collaborators during his lifetime, Emmylou Harris, leads the bill, along with Elvis Costello, who helped make a new generation aware of his work by recording his songs in the early 1980’s. Tickets go on sale Thursday at 10 a.m. PT on AXS. The show will benefit the Friendly House Foundation and Backline, Los Angeles-area organizations supporting addiction and mental health concerns.
Other acts on the star-filled lineup include the Black Crowes, Margo Price, Grace Potter, Jesse Welles, the Head and the Heart, Madison Cunningham, Jim Lauderdale, Harper Simon and Grahame Lesh. Also, the longtime L.A. favorites the Beachwood Sparks will serve as the house band. A Song for Gram: Celebrating Gram Parsons’ Induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is being co-produced by Gram’s daughter, Polly Parsons, Vector Management and Rolling Stone editor-in-chief Shirley Halperin, in conjunction with the Gram Parsons Estate and the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
