This weekend in Indiana, Willie Nelson and an all-star cast of his friends hosts yet another edition of Farm Aid, a concert series with a simple mission to keep family farmers on the land.

Tampa Bay area songwriters—including Noan Partly, Frankie Raye, Justin Rice and Passerine—pay homage to the festival this weekend, with a day-long concert of their own in Town ‘n Country where proceeds benefit the nonprofit program run by the good folks at Sweetwater.

Tickets to Farm Aid Tampa Bay happening at Sweetwater Organic Farm in Tampa on Saturday, Sept. 23 are still available for $10-$15. Kids 12 and under get in free. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
