Michael Stipe, Patti Smith, Cat Power, Rebecca Foon, Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ben Harper, Rain Phoenix and The Strokes bassist Nikolai Fraiture are slated to play Pathway to Paris’s 50th Anniversary Earth Day Festival on Sunday.

Canadian cellist and eco-activist Rebecca Foon released her first solo album 'Waxing Moon', with a little help from members of Arcade Fire and Godspeed You Black Emperor. The album is about "our beautiful world... facing mass extinction", but "full of hope, beauty, and perseverance", PopMatters writes in a review. All royalties from 'Waxing Moon' will go to Pathway to Paris, the non-profit climate action organization Foon co-founded.
