On Dec. 5 at 3 p.m. ET, a variety of artists will participate in the CatSong Festival, a virtual celebration of the music of Yusuf / Cat Stevens.

Dave Matthews, Jack Johnson, HAIM, Brandon Boyd (Incubus), Feist and more will perform during the event. The event will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Stevens’ two 1970 records: Tea For The Tillerman and Mona Bone Jakon.

Other artists who will perform include Fruition’s Mimi Naja, Passenger, James Morrison, Bonnie “Prince” Billy & Matt Sweeney, The Bros Landreth and more.

Stevens recently released Tea for the Tillerman², a 50th anniversary reimagining of the classic album. “Though my songwriting adventures were never limited to Tillerman, the songs on that album certainly defined me and pointed the way for my mysterious life’s journey,” he said (via press release). “Since those originative sessions in Morgan Studios, Willesden, in 1970, Tillerman has grown and developed its own gravitas and influence on music history and as the soundtrack to so many people’s lives. Like it was destiny waiting to happen, T4TT² feels like the timing of its message has arrived again.” For more information visit CatStevens.com.
