Over the course of her long career, she penned over 400 songs that have been recorded by more than 1,000 artists.
James Taylor rose to fame in the 1970s, when he became known for writing and performing sensitive, affecting songs. Over the course of a long-running career, Taylor has won five Grammy Awards and is the first artist to have top 10 albums in each of the last six decades. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 and received a National Medal of the Arts in 2011.

Danny Hamilton "The Knocking" Record Release Concert
2024-10-18 19:00 - 21:00 | The Grand Annex, 434 W. 6th St., San Pedro, CA, 90731
Danny Hamilton, the acclaimed singer-songwriter known for his soulful blend of blues, roots, country, and gritty rock n’ roll, released his latest album, “The Knocking,” on May 3. Marking his most hard-hitting work to date, “The Knocking” serves as a testament to Hamilton’s profound musical journey and his intimate relationship with the depths of the human spirit.

A sonic odyssey through the landscapes of the low country, “The Knocking” invites listeners on a sprawling, episodic adventure from the very first notes of “Down the Line.” With Hamilton as both narrator and companion, the album navigates peaks and valleys, both metaphorically and literally, offering a conceptual journey that resonates with authenticity and emotional depth.
Crafted with a powerful mix of keys, guitars, harmonica, and other Americana-tinged elements, “The Knocking” showcases Hamilton’s prowess in creating aural landscapes that are as rich as they are evocative. His vocals, more formidable and intentional than ever, intertwine seamlessly with the instrumentation, resulting in a release that traverses a broad emotional spectrum with ease.
At its core, “The Knocking” is unabashedly raw and unapologetically rock-infused. Tracks like “Jump On These Blues” and “Stick & Stone” ignite a fiery energy that permeates the entire album, offering a captivating blend of intensity and introspection.
“The Knocking” emerges as a masterful fusion of musical elements, evolving from its humble beginnings into something elemental and grand. It is a testament to Hamilton’s artistry and a testament to the transformative power of music.
With “The Knocking,” Danny Hamilton delivers yet another masterpiece that demands to be heard, offering an experience that resonates long after the final notes fade away.

This event is presented by Danny Hamilton.

The John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band (J2B2) showcases impeccable musicianship, incomparable songwriting, incredible harmony vocals and seasoned showmanship. The band combines the “high lonesome sound” of bluegrass with elements of West Coast folk rock and Americana.

John Jorgenson (acoustic guitar/mandolin/vocals) first came to national attention in the mid ‘80s with successful country-rock act The Desert Rose Band, which he co-founded alongside Chris Hillman and fellow J2B2 member Herb Pedersen. In 2008, Jorgenson won a Grammy for Best Country Instrumental with Brad Paisley and was nominated for Best Bluegrass Album with Earl Scruggs. He has also worked as Elton John’s guitarist and alongside Bonnie Raitt and Bob Dylan.

John Jorgenson returns to the Grand Annex, this time switching his guitar out for a mandolin and bringing his all-star bluegrass supergroup featuring legendary, award-winning musicians: Herb Pedersen, Mark Fain and Patrick Sauber.
Herb Pedersen (banjo/acoustic guitar/vocals) has been a member of over five bands, including The Desert Rose Band, during his sixty-year music career. He has worked on countless film and TV scores, and collaborated with music legends such as Earl Scruggs, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt.
Mark Fain (bass) is a seven-time Grammy winner who has produced for many artists across the jazz, country, bluegrass and gospel genres; he has also toured and recorded with the Chicks, Alan Jackson, John Fogerty and Dolly Parton.
Patrick Sauber (acoustic guitar/vocals) has toured with Peter Rowan and Laurie Lewis, and appeared on screen in the mockumentary musical “The Mighty Wind.”
