Joan Baez Will Get Her Much-Deserved Flowers at Honorary Concert Next Year
Sweet Relief will honor Joan Baez with a benefit concert in San Francisco next year, featuring Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Tom Morello, and more.
Joan Baez retired from touring in 2019, but you can still catch the folk icon at special occasions — and in February 2025, Sweet Relief Musicians Fund will honor her with a benefit concert. Taking place on Feb. 8 at San Francisco’s Masonic Auditorium, Baez will perform alongside Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Tom Morello, Lucinda Williams, Hozier, Margo Price, Rosanne Cash, Taj Majal, Joe Henry, and Ramblin’ Jack Elliot. At the annual event in July, she sang the Band’s “ The Weight ” alongside Hozier and Mavis Staples, as well as “ America the Beautiful.” In February, she covered Dylan’s “ Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right ” at New York’s Tibet House benefit with Maggie Rogers.
