It's an annual music event that has incredible staying power.

A who's who of musical talent, performing for a cause everybody can get behind: Farm Aid.

Only this year, like everything else happening in 2020, the event is virtual. But that doesn't mean it's not star-studded. The four founders of Farm Aid -- John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews, Neil Young, and Willie Nelson -- will be joined by a slate of solid artists for a 3-hour streaming event.

Also on the bill: Seattle's Brandi Carlile, Bonnie Raitt, Boz Scaggs, Norah Jones, Chris Stapleton Jack Johnson, and more,

This year more than ever, family farmers need our help. COVID-19 has taken lives and livelihoods from the farming community all over the country, and this is our chance to send them some love in the form of a donation.

Farm Aid 2020 On The Road will happen from 5 to 8pm Seattle time Saturday 9/26. You can watch it on Farm Aid's YouTube channel in HD, on AXS TV, and at Fans.com. It's free to watch, but of course, they hope you'll kick in a few bucks for the cause.

It's going to be a great night of music!
