Jesse Colin Young teamed up with SongAid and WhyHunger to release an updated version of “Get Together,” the 1969 hit by Young’s band The Youngbloods. Steve Miller joins Young to provide electric guitar and background vocals.
According to a press release, “all proceeds from SongAid will be used to expand WhyHunger’s national Find Food Database, Texting service and Hotline connecting seniors, children, veterans, hourly workers and families impacted by hunger with free food and essential services, and to support frontline food pantries, small-scale farmers and food chain workers facing unprecedented risks and economic hardship during the COVID-19 crisis.”
“‘Get Together’ is a song that heals, and it seems we are in great need of healing. It was a joy to record with Steve Miller and feel his enthusiasm for the project,” said Jesse Colin Young via press release. “While ‘Get Together’ is food for the soul, there are so many of us, especially in this time, that are in need of food for the body. We chose WhyHunger as the beneficiary of all the proceeds so our communities can be fed. For those that can, please join us in helping to feed our neighbors by donating to this wonderful organization.”
