A strong line up is ready for the January 31st Musicares/Grammy tribute to the Grateful Dead in Los Angeles.
This Person of the Year dinner will also be a fundraiser for music professionals affected by the wildfires.
Of course, it also raises money for musicians with all kinds of needs apart from the fires, too.
This all happens two nights before Trevor Noah hosts the Grammy Awards on CBS, Sunday February 2nd.
The music roster is top notch: Performers include Zac Brown, Stewart Copeland, Mick Fleetwood, Sammy Hagar, Bruce Hornsby, Norah Jones, Wynonna Judd, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Maren Morris, Lukas Nelson, Billy Strings, The War On Drugs, Vampire Weekend, and Dwight Yoakam, along with GRAMMY Award nominees Sierra Ferrell, Noah Kahan, Maggie Rose, My Morning Jacket, and The War And Treaty.
Don Was will lead the in house band.
For some reason, Andy Cohen is hosting the night. You don’t think of him as a Grateful Dead fan, but life is full of surprises!
“Music has the power to heal and comfort,” says Harvey Mason jr., CEO of the Recording Academy and MusiCares. “This year’s gala honoring the Grateful Dead will not only provide a moment where music people can reunite and support one another in the wake of the devastating fires in Greater Los Angeles but together can provide funding for our community in need. I look forward to standing with the MusiCares team and all our guests for an impactful night.”
