Willie Nelson has once again teamed with Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews (with Tim Reynolds), and rounded up some of the best musicians in the land for the 32nd annual Farm Aid Concert, a live one-day festival that raises funds for family farmers and will be broadcast live on his exclusive SiriusXM channel.
This year’s broadcast, airing from Burgettstown, PA, on Willie’s Roadhouse (Ch. 59), includes sets from the aforementioned Farm Aid board members as well as Sheryl Crow, Jack Johnson, Avett Brothers, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Margo Price, Jamey Johnson, Blackberry Smoke, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Valerie June, Insects Vs. Robots. Dallas Wayne will also be backstage hosting interviews with artists and farmers.
For more than 30 years, Farm Aid, with the support of the artists who contribute their performances each year, has raised more than $50 million to support programs that help farmers thrive, expand the reach of the Good Food Movement, take action to change the dominant system of industrial agriculture and promote food from family farms.
Right now, Farm Aid is working in Texas and Louisiana, where farms are recovering in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. Devastated farmers and ranchers are facing terrible destruction including wiped out crops and fences, stranded livestock, fields submerged under feet of water, and damage to their homes.
The rapid recovery of family farms is essential to the health and vitality of rural communities. Their towns need them to grow the good food we all love to eat. Family farmers need our help now to support them on the long road ahead, in order to come back stronger than ever.
Willie’s Roadhouse will broadcast live from Farm Aid 2017, beginning at noon ET. See full schedule below.

Farm Aid, the annual benefit concert for America’s family farmers, will be staged for its 32nd year on Sept. 16 at the KeyBank Pavilion in Burgettstown, Pa., outside Pittsburgh, with performances by the organization’s guiding foursome—Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews—along with Sheryl Crow, Jack Johnson, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Margo Price and more.
The concert, quite simply, is quite unlike any other musical festival in the nation today. Created by Willie Nelson in 1985 as a one-off event to respond to that era’s farm foreclosure crisis, Farm Aid has become music’s longest-running concert for a cause and has since raised $50 million for family farmers—including those whose livelihoods are threatened by this year’s hurricanes.
What fans may not realize is that Farm Aid, as an organization, runs year-round, not only in planning for each year’s show, but in carrying out its mission of building a vibrant, family-farm-centered system of agriculture in America. With festival attendees using the hashtags #FarmAid2017 and #Road2FarmAid on social media in advance of this year’s concert, Billboard invited Farm Aid communications director Jennifer Fahy, who has been with the organization since 2002, to describe the months that followed Nelson’s final song onstage the 31st annual Farm Aid in Bristow, Va. in September 2016:

Thank you LA for a great night
By Mikael Wood Contact Reporter
Pop Music Critichttp://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-et-ms-willie-nelson-shrine-review-20170818-story.html
At some point there will come a day — and lately it’s felt uncomfortably close — when Willie Nelson is no longer available to shuffle onstage with his five-piece band, pick up the battered acoustic guitar he calls Trigger and rip into “Whiskey River” with his proprietary blend of wisdom and intensity.
Thank God we’re not there yet.
The above is precisely what Nelson did Thursday night at the Shrine Auditorium, where the 84-year-old country-music legend brought his functionally never-ending tour for a show as good as — or maybe better than — any I’ve ever seen him play.
Going in, though, it wasn’t certain that’s what was in store.
This week Nelson inspired nervous headlines when he halted a gig in Salt Lake City, reportedly due to breathing trouble. The singer later tweeted that the altitude had simply gotten to him, but the health scare followed a string of canceled shows in recent months — never a welcome development for a veteran artist.
The Salt Lake incident also came in the wake of “God’s Problem Child,” Nelson’s latest studio album. Released in April, this deeply moving collection finds Nelson contemplating the end in a way he never really has before in tunes like “Old Timer” and “He Won’t Ever Be Gone,” the latter a tribute to his lifelong friend and collaborator Merle Haggard, who died last year.
“God’s Problem Child” is too finely made — and often too funny — to suggest that Nelson has finally run out of steam. (It’s one of about a dozen albums he’s put out in the last decade.) But its preoccupations lead you to wonder if he knows something we don’t.
Or at least they did until Thursday night.
At the Shrine, where he shared the bill with Kacey Musgraves, Nelson exuded the casual determination of a man who intends to keep doing this forever — and isn’t interested in being bored.
The repertoire was familiar to anyone who’s caught Nelson in recent years, with a mix of his classics (including “Crazy” and “On the Road Again”), durable roots-music standards (“Hey Good Lookin’,” “Georgia on My Mind”) and tunes he’s more or less claimed as his own (“Always on My Mind”).
Near the end of his hourlong set, he invited Musgraves and an unannounced Kris Kristofferson onstage to do a rambling medley of “Will the Circle Be Unbroken?,” “I’ll Fly Away” and “I Saw the Light.”
Yet Nelson’s singing and guitar playing were so idiosyncratic, with such wild, unpredictable phrasing, that the music felt infinitely renewable; the noisy solo he played in “Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” totally undercut any sense that the song represented a bit of down-home shtick.
It’s not right to say that Nelson was defying age here. Indeed, what made the concert a thrill was that he was happily embracing his advanced position, emphasizing the grain in his voice and the internal logic of his slippery rhythm.
Don’t-give-a-damn can be a tough attitude to bring one’s audience along with, especially when the artist in question appears to have reason to start phoning it in. But Nelson somehow made it feel like a strategy for endurance.
Let us hope it works.

“This is Willie. I am very sorry to have to cut the Salt Lake City performance short tonight. The altitude just got to me. I am feeling a lot better now and headed for lower ground.”
We will post additional details as they are released.
