Neil Young will perform several shows in the Gulf Coast in September to aid residents affected by the oil spill. According to the guitarist’s camp, “Young has teamed up with John Tyson, chairman of Tyson Foods, Inc., which will donate 100,000 pounds of chicken products to be distributed to the Bay Area Food Bank. Tyson will deliver four truckloads of chicken, the equivalent of almost 400,000 meals, to the Bay Area Food Bank, which serves Central Gulf Coast communities in Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi.” Concert-goers are also encouraged to bring non-perishable food items, which will be given to the food bank. All proceeds from the sale of special limited-edition Neil Young t-shirts will also aid those affected by the oil spill.
