By Brian Ives 

Emmylou Harris will be the subject of a all-star tribute concert in January that will feature performances by Sheryl Crow, Mavis Staples, Kris Kristofferson, Martina McBride, Lucinda Williams, Patty Griffin, Iron & Wine and others.

The Life and Songs of Emmylou Harris: An All-Star Concert Celebration will take place on Jan. 10 at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington D.C.

Don Was and Buddy Miller will serve as co-musical directors of the event, which will be filmed and recorded for future release. Was has served as musical director for similar tribute concerts to Levon Helm and Gregg Allman (both of those events were produced by Keith Wortman, who is producing this one as well).

“Emmylou Harris and her songs have inspired music fans and musicians all over the world,” Was said in a press release announcing the concert. Miller, who has played guitar on Harris’s albums and in her touring bands, added, “I have been blessed to be both a dear friend and music partner of Emmy’s, and look forward to an extraordinary night of music.” Miller, a solo artist in his own right, has also worked with John Fogerty and Robert Plant (he’s recorded a still-unreleased album with the latter).
