Elton John to
perform at Madison Square Garden Katrina benefit

Big names such as Elton John and Rod Stewart will team up with some of New Orleans's most notable musicians, including recently rescued veterans Fats Domino and Allen Toussaint, during a September 20 benefit for victims of Hurricane Katrina at Madison Square Garden. The concert, dubbed "From the Big Apple to the Big Easy," will also feature Jimmy Buffett, Stevie Nicks, Lenny Kravitz, Bette Midler, John Fogerty, Loggins & Messina, and Earth, Wind & Fire. New Orleans will additionally be represented by the Neville Brothers, the Original Meters, and the Dirty Dozen and Rebirth Brass Bands. In addition to underwriting the show, Madison Square Garden will donate $1 million to Katrina-related fund-raising efforts. All proceeds from the event will benefit like-minded causes. Tickets go on sale September 13. (Jonathan Cohen, via Reuters)
