Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, Eddie Vedder, John Mellencamp and Emmylou Harris are among the dozens of musicians who will celebrate American folk music legend Pete Seeger’s 90th birthday with a gala concert at Madison Square Garden on May 3.

Other artists scheduled to appear include Steve Earle, Joan Baez, Juanes, Richie Havens, Kris Kirstofferson, Tom Morello, Billy Bragg, Michael Franti and Ben Harper. American Express pre-sale tickets for the event will be available starting Mar. 23 and general public on-sale begins March 30. More information can be found at www.Seeger90.com. As reported earlier, the Madison Square Garden birthday concert is part of a series of 90th birthday events benefiting Clearwater, including a solo acoustic concert by Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy in March and the annual Clearwater Festival in June.
