On Saturday, September 20 Sheryl Crow, Cat Power, The Black Keys, Henry Rollins, Mike Ness, Son Volt, and Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion celebrated the iconic legacies of John Steinbeck and Woody Guthrie at the tribute concert dubbed  "This Land Is Your Land" at the Concord Pavilion in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Representing their respective families, Sarah Lee Guthrie (granddaughter of Woody Guthrie, natch) and her husband Johnny Irion (grandnephew of John Steinbeck, in case you hadn't heard that tidbit before) performed a featured set and mc'ed the event, which concluded with a jam session including Sheryl Crow and members of each of the bands singing Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land."
