Neil Young is officially headed back to his hometown of Omemee, Ont., for an intimate concert on Friday night — but good luck scoring last-minute tickets. Instead, they'll be able to catch the acoustic concert livestreamed by CTV at 8 p.m. In early November, Young posted hints that he'd be "going to my town" to coincide with the release of his new album The Visitor and the unveiling of an online archive of his work. Several Twitter users in Omemee — population 1,271, according to the 2016 census — also posted photos of trucks and other activity outside the hall. pic.twitter.com/AYp0JkPrIu — @clubsoda67On Friday, CTV said proceeds from the show would be donated to the local Scott Young Public School, named after Neil's father who was a novelist, journalist and early host of Hockey Night in Canada.
