NEW YORK, Dec. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM announced today the launch of Neil Young Radio, a new limited-run channel with music and content curated by two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Neil Young, beginning today.
The new artist presented channel coincides with Neil Young's upcoming album, Barn, which is scheduled to be released on Friday, December 10.
Neil Young Radio will be a destination to enjoy Young's half-a-century long catalog, spanning his entire career, from his early musical innovation in bands such as Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Promise of the Real, through his 50-year collaboration with Crazy Horse, including their brand new release, Barn.
Neil Young Radio will give fans a unique opportunity to explore Neil Young's music with exclusive insight from one of the most respected artists in music history. Revered not only for his musicianship but also for his songwriting, Young will share personal stories about his collaborations and his process for writing, recording and performing.

The special interview will feature Young talking about his early years of musical creation as well as his new music.

"Sharing these stories with SiriusXM will be a lot of fun," said Young. "We had such a great time in the Barn."
