SUMMARY:J2B2 – John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band
DESCRIPTION:Join us on July 16\, 2026 for J2B2 – John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band! \nJ2B2 is an all-star bluegrass supergroup featuring four legendary\, award-winning musicians: John Jorgensonon acoustic guitar\, mandolin and vocals; Herb Pedersen on banjo\, acoustic guitar and vocals; Patrick Sauber on acoustic guitar and vocals; and Mark Fain on bass – delivering bluegrass like no one has ever heard it before. \nThe combination of forces by Jorgenson\, Pedersen\, Sauber\, and Fain form a spot-on union of impeccable musicianship\, incomparable songwriting\, incredible harmony vocals (a fresh twist combining bluegrass with elements of West Coast folk rock) and seasoned showmanship. This is the “high lonesome sound” of American roots music at its finest. \nJohn Jorgenson is a co-founder (with Herb Pedersen and Chris Hillman) of the formative country rock group Desert Rose Band. In 1990\, Jorgenson founded the Hellecasters and toured with Sir Elton John’s band for six years\, before later reuniting with John as lead guitarist for many European dates of the record-breaking Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour. An impressively eclectic range of artists including Sting\, Luciano Pavarotti\, Bonnie Raitt\, Billy Joel\, Barbra Streisand\, Bob Seger\, and Earl Scruggs have sought out Jorgenson to be part of their own recordings and/or performances. Music legends and guitar greats such as Tom Petty\, Peter Frampton\, Tommy Emmanuel\, Duane Eddy\, Joe Bonamassa and Brad Paisley have also sung Jorgenson’s praises. Jorgenson portrayed Django Reinhardt in the Hollywood feature film Head in the Clouds. In 2008\, Jorgenson won a GRAMMY® Award for Best Country Instrumental with Brad Paisley and was nominated for Best Bluegrass Album with Earl Scruggs. \nGRAMMY® Award Nominee Herb Pedersen is a former member of the Desert Rose Band\, legendary\nbluegrass band The Dillards and bluegrass super-group Old and In the Way\, among others. A soughtafter singer/songwriter\, musician\, and vocal arranger\, he has worked with such music legends as John\nFogerty\, Tom Petty\, Mudcrutch\, Chris Hillman\, Linda Ronstadt\, Jackson Browne\, Emmylou Harris\, Gram\nParsons\, Earl Scruggs\, Tony Rice\, Dan Fogelberg\, Kris Kristofferson\, John Prine\, Stephen Stills\, and\nJohn Denver. \nPatrick Sauber is a talented multi-instrumentalist who has quickly made a name for himself as a young\nperformer in the world of bluegrass\, folk\, western and old-time music. Equally adept on guitar\, mandolin\,\nbanjo and cajun accordion\, Sauber has played with Doc Watson\, Richard Greene\, Peter Rowan\, Tim\nO’Brien\, John Fogerty\, Laurie Lewis\, and John Reischman\, among others. Sauber played on the 2016\nGRAMMY®-nominated album The Hazel and Alice Sessions by Laurie Lewis and appeared in the film A\nMighty Wind with Christopher Guest. \nGRAMMY® Award-winning bassist and producer Mark Fain has recorded and performed with Bruce\nHornsby\, Dolly Parton\, Loretta Lynn\, Tom Petty\, John Oates\, Alan Jackson\, Ry Cooder\, John Fogerty\,\nChris Hillman\, Dwight Yoakam\, Alison Krauss\, Travis Tritt\, Joan Osborne\, The Chicks\, Martina McBride\,\nRosanne Cash\, Jack Black\, and Cody Johnson.
