19th Annual ‘Music of’ Benefit to Celebrate Crosby, Stills and Nash with Performances by Todd Rundgren, Grace Potter and More
The Michael Dorf Presents Music Of tribute concert has delivered its official artist lineup for the 19th annual event, which is set to return to the esteemed Carnegie Hall in New York City. The gathering will celebrate the music of Crosby, Stills and Nash and is slated to occur on Monday, May 13, with fresh interpretations of the classic songs, dripping in three-part harmony and folk-rock flair.
During the impending event, musicians such as Todd Rundgren, Grace Potter, Taylor Meier of Caamp, Yola, Iron & Wine, Rickie Lee Jones, Joseph, Shawn Colvin, Real Estate, Aoife O’Donovan, Neal Francis, and Sammy Rae of Sammy Rae & The Friends. The acts above will receive support from the evening’s house band, led by Todd Caldwell and featuring Adam Minkoff, Michelle Willis, Thad DeBrock, Chris Bruce and Josh Dion.
“To be a part of this incredible evening at Carnegie Hall, celebrating the music that David, Stephen, and I created together, is a profound honor,” said Graham Nash. “I look forward to seeing a diverse and talented group of artists perform our songs. Music has always been about connection, about sharing stories and emotions that resonate with each other. This event allows us to relive those connections and support a cause close to our hearts—music education.”
“Bringing together such an extraordinary lineup to celebrate the timeless music of Crosby, Stills, and Nash at the iconic Carnegie Hall is a dream come true,” said Michael Dorf, founder of the Music Of series. “Each year, the Music Of series aims to not only pay homage to the music of legends but also to light a spark in the hearts of the next generation through music education. With this year’s concert, we’re not just celebrating the legacy of Crosby, Stills, and Nash; we’re investing in the future of music, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to discover their own voice. I’m profoundly grateful for the chance to continue this tradition and excited for everyone to experience the magic we have in store.”
The forthcoming musical tribute arrives after a sold-out 2023 homage to Paul McCartney, which set forth the same script as the May production by honoring the chosen artist/group and the esteemed songbook at the source of their creation. The scope of the event aims to raise funds to support music education for underserved youth.
Music Of has generated a net gain of 1.9 million, with an annual revenue of $100,000. The charitable angle of the event lends to specialty VIP packages, with money raised through the sale going back to the choice charities. In sticking with a theme for the CSN tribute experiences, the event will offer various options, including song-title-inspired bundles: Deja Vu, Woodstock, Helplessly Hoping, and the limited edition Our House offering.
