In addition to the star-studded lineup, the event will be directed by Grammy winners Don Was and Buddy Miller, and will be produced by Keith Wortman and Ken Levitan. Was and Wortman have teamed up before to create similar concerts honoring Johnny Cash, Levon Helm and Gregg Allman.
Over the course of her career, Harris has collaborated and recorded with artists ranging from Gram Parsons to Conor Oberst. In the process, she’s been awarded 13 Grammys, most recently for 2013’s Old Yellow Moon with Rodney Crowell.
