Feist, Linkin Park, Patti Smith Chip In For Haiti Relief

Feist is set to headline a concert for Haitian earthquake relief that will take place Jan. 31 at Hamilton, Ont.'s Hamilton Place.

The Hamilton's Heart For Haiti show will also feature sets from hometown boys Arkells, along with Canadian Idol winner Brian Melo, Blackie And The Rodeo Kings, Melissa McClelland, Luke Doucet, Lee Harvey Osmond and Jacob Moon.

Tickets are $25 and go on sale later this week through Ticketmaster and the Copps Coliseum box office.

Linkin Park have also launched their own Haitian relief project. Their Music For Relief foundation has joined with the United Nations Foundation, Habitat For Humanity and Dave Matthews Band's BAMA Works to start the Download To Donate For Haiti initiative.

Linkin Park, Alanis Morissette, Dave Matthews Band, Peter Gabriel, The All-American Rejects, Slash and Hoobastank are among the artists who contributed unreleased tracks to an album that you can download now through Music For Relief's website. All the proceeds from sales of the album will go towards Haiti relief efforts.

"We pray that this initiative provides some relief and support to the survivors and hope we inspire our fans, friends and families to make donations as well," Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington told MTV News.

Post-punk legend and poet Patti Smith will play a relief show on Wednesday (Jan. 20) at New York's City Winery with The Swell Season, Yo La Tengo, Rosanne Cash, comedian Lewis Black and the Young Poeple's Choir Of New York City. Tickets are sold out, but all proceeds will go to Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontiers, Partners And Health and the Jewish Renaissance Center's emergency aid mission. All the organizations are contributing major post-earthquake aid to Haiti.

Rapper Bun-B hosted a benefit show for Haiti on Monday (Jan. 18) night at Houston, Texas' Warehouse that featured appearances from Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young, Slim Thug and other musicians.

Meanwhile, Haitian-born musician Wyclef Jean denied that his Yele Haiti organization had been less than forthcoming with mismanaging its funds and had misappropriated them.

Earlier this week, The Smoking Gun website published a story in which it says Yele had only recently started filing tax returns, which it did in 2005, 2006 and 2007. It also claimed the former Fugees member had used Yele's funds for personal projects.

"Have we made mistakes before? Yes," Jean said at a press conference according to the New York Post. "Did I ever use Yele money for personal benefits? Absolutely not."

He went on to say that "Yele's books are open and transparent, and we have been a clean bill of health by an external auditor every year since we started," according to Rollingstone.com.

Yele Haiti has raised over $2 million U.S. (about $2.06 million Canadian) for Haitian earthquake relief since last week.

Last Tuesday (Jan. 12), Haiti — the poorest country in the western hemisphere — was rocked by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake that's estimated to have killed between 50,000 to 100,000 people and affected at least three million others.
