J2B2 (John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band) & Wine Tasting
The John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band (J2B2) is an all-star bluegrass supergroup featuring four legendary, award-winning musicians. They combine forces to form a spot-on union of 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 as co-founder of successful country-rock act The Desert Rose Band, with whom he won the Academy of Country Music’s Guitarist of the Year award for two consecutive years. In 2008, Jorgenson won a Grammy for Best Country Instrumental with Brad Paisley and was nominated for Best Bluegrass Album with Earl Scruggs. Known for his mastery of a broad musical palette, he has earned a reputation as a world-class musician, evidenced by his collaborations with the likes of Elton John, Bonnie Raitt, Luciano Pavarotti and Bob Dylan. A sought-after singer and musician, Herb Pedersen (banjo/acoustic guitar/vocals) has worked with music legends such as Chris Hillman, Earl Scruggs, Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt. Mark Fain (bass) has produced for many artists across the jazz, country, bluegrass, and gospel genres; he has also toured and recorded with the Chicks, Alan Jackson, Travis Tritt, Dwight Yoakam, Allison Krauss 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."
