New York, NY - The tenth annual Holiday Cheer for FUV concert starring Conor Oberst & Friends features an impressive list of "friends."

Natalie Merchant, first known as the voice of 10,000 Maniacs, is an activist and singer-songwriter whose best-selling albums include Tigerlily, Ophelia, and this year's Natalie Merchant. The Felice Brothers, like Merchant from upstate New York, are infectious live performers who released two of their albums, The Felice Brothers and Yonder Is the Clock on Oberst's Team Love label. In her brief career Laura Marling has released four albums, three of which have been nominated for Britain's prestigious Mercury Prize. The Brooklyn-based trio, The Lone Bellow, who have earned critical acclaim for their soulful songwriting and supple harmonies, will release their second album in January. California musician/producer Jonathan Wilson has released four albums as a solo artist and produced numerous albums, including Conor Obert's most recent, Upside Down Mountain.

"Last year's concert with Iron & Wine and Friends set a high bar for us," said WFUV Program Director Rita Houston. "We're excited that so many talented artists want to be part of this special night of collaboration with Conor."
