Western Massachusetts’ own Harvest & Rust returns to The Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield for a special tribute concert celebrating Neil Young’s 80th birthday. This homecoming performance, titled “80 Years of Neil,” promises a dynamic setlist spanning Young’s expansive catalog—from the acoustic intimacy of “Harvest” to the raw energy of “Rust Never Sleeps.” Led by frontman Garrett Lechowski, the band features Matt Cahill (guitars, piano), Andy Gordon (pedal steel), John Kiernan (drums), and Jim Reynolds (bass). Known for their authentic renditions, Harvest & Rust captures the essence of Neil Young’s music, delivering both beloved hits and deep cuts with precision and passion. This show also features “The Barn Burners,” local artists Susan Davis and Beth Rose, on backing vocals to help recreate the legendary harmony vocals of Linda Ronstadt and Nicolette Larson. Harvest & Rust has earned acclaim as one of the premier Neil Young tribute bands in the Northeast, praised for their stirring and authentic performances. Their concerts are a journey through Young’s prolific career, featuring songs from his solo work as well as his time with Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. With a commitment to variety, the band ensures that no two shows are alike, mirroring Young’s own approach to live performances. This special event at The Colonial Theatre offers fans a chance to experience the full spectrum of Neil Young’s music, celebrating his legacy in a venue that resonates with the band’s roots.
