CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 16 (UPI) -- Indigo Girls, Dixie Chicks and Ben Folds will perform in a concert Oct. 10 in Charlotte, N.C., to benefit the Honor the Earth foundation.
The net proceeds from the event at Charlotte's Verizon Wireless Amphitheater will be donated to Honor the Earth, a national organization that raises funds and public support for Native American environmental groups.
The foundation is devoted to building an informed Native American and non-Native American constituency that can coalesce strategically around specific environmental issues, act as a voice for the Earth and institute policy changes.
Since 1993, the Grammy-winning Indigo Girls have headlined five Honor the Earth concert tours that have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Native American grassroots groups.
Other national recording artists that have joined with Honor the Earth in the past include Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, David Crosby, Joan Baez, Shawn Mullins, Edwin McCain and Ben Harper.
