Farm Aid announced today that AXS TV will be the exclusive television broadcaster of Farm Aid 2014, to be presented live in high definition (HD) on Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. EDT/4 p.m. PDT.

This partnership brings the concert experience to fans who are unable to attend the sold-out family farm festival at Walnut Creek Amphitheatre in Raleigh, N.C.

“Farm Aid is excited to partner with AXS TV for the first time in our history,” said Jennifer Fahy, communications director at Farm Aid. “We’re glad farmers, music fans and eaters across the country can join our celebration of music, good food and family farmers and call for a strong family farm food system.”

Farm Aid 2014 will feature live performances by Farm Aid President and Founder Willie Nelson and board members John Mellencamp, Neil Young and Dave Matthews with Tim Reynolds, as well as performances recorded earlier in the day from additional Farm Aid artists including Jack White, Gary Clark Jr., Jamey Johnson, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Delta Rae and more.

In addition, the webcast, “Farm Aid 2014 Presented by Amy’s Kitchen,” will stream at www.farmaid.org.

Furthermore, Willie Nelson’s SiriusXM channel (56), Willie’s Roadhouse, will air live from Farm Aid 2014, beginning at 12 p.m. EDT. SiriusXM’s Dallas Wayne will host backstage interviews and behind-the-scenes coverage of the event.

Festival fans can put the entire Farm Aid experience in the palm of their hands with the official Farm Aid 2014 mobile app, which is now available for iPhone and Android devices. Fans can view the entire Farm Aid 2014 schedule and add artists, workshops and artist briefings to make their own personalized schedule for the day. To download the app, visit www.farmaid.org/app.
