for some of JMI's artists.

Many friends of JMI, including Guy Davis, Bruce Cockburn, Kate & Anna McGarrigle, Tom Chapin, Martha Wainwright and Tao Rodriguez-Seeger were on hand in New York to help Mr. Seeger celebrate his 90th birthday at Madison Square Gardens. The Clearwater Concert, which featured some 50 artists, was recorded for a television special, release date TBA.
