An eclectic, all-star lineup will pay tribute to the music of Neil Young at a Carnegie Hall concert that will benefit music and arts programs for underprivileged youth. Patti Smith, the Roots, Living Colour, Aimee Mann, Pete Yorn and J Mascis are among the 20 artists slated to take the stage on Feb. 10 at the famed New York venue.

"Our decision to honor the music of Neil Young at Carnegie Hall generated instant, tremendous feedback," promoter Michael Dorf said in a statement on the concert's official website. The American Symphony Orchestra Music Notes, Church Street School of Music, Young Audiences, Music Unites All-Youth Choir, FIKS (Fixing Instruments for Kids in Schools) and the Pinwheel Project will receive 100 percent of the net proceeds.

Longtime Bob Dylan sideman Larry Campbell will steer the evening's house band. Although the complete lineup has yet to be revealed, other confirmed acts for the evening include DeVotchKa, Shawn Colvin, Bebel Gilberto, Keller Williams, Cowboy Junkies and Mason Jennings.

Awesome. This is one time I would LOVE to go to Carnegie Hall. Seriously. I hope they record this for cable. It's about time we appreciate Neil Young.

Devotchka! Awesome!

Why don't they get Gogol Bordello to contribute, too?

Imagine what Eugene, Sergey and Elizabeth can do with a Neil Young song!
