Emmylou Harris will perform five special concerts in California in early December to benefit the Campaign For A Landmine Free World. Harris will be joined onstage by special guests who will perform their songs in spare, acoustic settings, like a guitar pull in a Nashville living room. Steve Earle will join Harris for all five concerts. Other guests will include Bruce Cockburn, Nanci Griffith, John Prine, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Kris Kristofferson, and Willie Nelson, among others.
Harris played a series of concerts for the landmine cause last year, and she has toured hospitals in Vietnam and Cambodia to see firsthand the damage caused by these long-forgotten weapons.
The California concerts will take place at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Dec. 1; Luther Burbank Center in Santa Rosa, Dec. 2; El Camino College in Torrance, Dec. 3; the University of California in San Diego, Dec. 4; and the University of California in Santa Barbara, on Dec. 5.
On Dec. 8, Harris will be presented with the Billboard Century Award at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, which will be televised by Fox. The Century Award is Billboard's highest honor for artistic achievement.
