Neil Young: Gulf Coast Dates

August 12th, 2010 | No Comments

TOUR STARTS SEPTEMBER 20 IN PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA; CONCERT-GOERS ASKED TO BRING NON-
PERISHABLE FOOD FOR FOOD BANK

Neil Young

Neil Young will
perform several shows in the Gulf Coast in September to aid residents affected by the oil spill. Young has teamed
up with his friend 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.

Young is also asking concert-goers to bring non-perishable food items, which will be given to the food bank. All
proceeds from the sale of unique, limited-edition Neil Young t-shirts, available only at the concerts, will also be
donated to the food bank.

The hunger relief effort is the result of the long-standing friendship between Young and Tyson. “Millions of people
who live along the Gulf Coast struggle with hunger and the economic impact of the oil spill has only made matters
worse,” Young says. “I appreciate the willingness of John Tyson and his company to get involved by helping the
regional food bank help feed those in need. We both encourage concert-goers to spend money locally and support
local business.”
