Willie Nelson, Don Henley, Vince Gill, Kacey Musgraves, Mavis Staples and Grammy nominee Linda Perry are the latest round of performers announced for the upcoming 2019 MusiCares Person of the Year tribute concert honoring Dolly Parton on Feb. 8. Previously announced performers on the lineup for the special show include Leon Bridges, Lauren Daigle, Norah Jones, Shawn Mendes, P!nk, Mark Ronson, and Chris Stapleton.
Parton, who is being recognized as the 2019 MusiCares Person of the Year in recognition of her significant creative accomplishments and longtime support of many charitable causes, will close out the evening’s performances.
Proceeds from the annual Person of the Year tribute, now in its 29th year, provide essential support for MusiCares, the charity founded by the Recording Academy that ensures industry members have a place to turn in times of financial, medical, and personal need.
The Person of the Year gala will begin with a reception and silent auction offering an exclusive selection of luxury items, VIP experiences, and one-of-a-kind celebrity memorabilia for bidding guests. The reception and silent auction will be followed by a gala dinner sponsored by AEG, a live auction, the concert, and the award presentation.
