A FOLK LEGEND CELEBRATES A LANDMARK BIRTHDAY!

Folk legend Joan Baez is joined by a whole host of fellow country stars for a glittering concert to celebrate her 75th birthday! Ahead of her national tour, Joan et al will take over the Beacon Theater for one night only in January with David Bromberg, Jackson Browne, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Judy Collins, Emmylou Harris, Indigo Girls, Damien Rice, Nano Stern and more!

Celebrating her enviable contribution to folk music, Baez first came to prominence in the 1960s with her brand of soft and husky ballads that often covered topical issues of the day and with notably Diamonds And Rust, paid a touching tribute to her doomed romance with Bob Dylan. An instrumental ally in the Civil Rights Movement, Baez could often be seen marching alongside Dr Martin Luther King, landing in jail a few times as a result. She was even caught up in the Vietnam War during the Christmas Campaign of 1972, which only cemented her commitment to campaigning. Time and age haven't slowed Baez down however, as she continues to campaign for peace and non-violence as well as keeping up a remarkable touring schedule.

Achieving immediate success with her first three albums, all achieved gold record status and remained in the charts for two years afterwards. Today when not touring, she can be found in her legendary treehouse writing new material for new albums.
