The ‘sold out’ MusiCares gala takes place tonight, February 8th at the downtown Los Angeles Convention Center. The evening will honor Bruce Springsteen with live performances by his legendary friends and Grammy award winning talent.
This star-studded event will be hosted by Jon Stewart and will include performances by legends such as Alabama Shakes, Jackson Browne, Kenny Chesney, Ben Harper, Emmylou Harris, Faith Hill, Jim James, Elton John, Juanes, John Legend, Natalie Maines, Tim McGraw, Tom Morello, Mumford & Sons, Patti Smith, Mavis Staples, Sting, Eddie Vedder, Neil Young, and many more.
Artist Zhenya Gershman has created a portrait of the “Boss” himself to be featured at the gala as part of a silent auction. The journey was an interesting one. Zhenya had to decide which “Bruce Sprinsteen” to paint.
She surveyed hundreds of images from his long career and watched countless videos. See our Artist and Exhibitions Page for full article.
