The Legacy Of Jesse Ed Davis

Описание: Join VHM and the Bob Dylan Center to celebrate the legacy of Indigenous rock star Jesse Ed Davis!

Note: due to high demand, the physical event may be standing room only.

Davis was a generational talent, collaborating with rock legends from Bob Dylan to John Lennon while spending much of his time in Southern California in Venice. Following his death in Venice 1988, his memory has survived among those who worked with him, but his lasting impact has been under-appreciated until recently.

This FREE event honors Davis right here in Venice with:

— A reading by historian Douglas Miller from his recent book, Washita Love Child: The Rise of Indigenous Rock Star Jesse Ed Davis (2025), accompanied by an archival photo presentation.

— A panel discussion and Q&A with musicians who played alongside Jesse, including Jim Keltner (named by Rolling Stone as one of the top 50 drummers of all time!), Elliot Easton (The Cars), Bob Glaub (Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, Stevie Nicks), and Steve Jenkins (Director, Bob Dylan Center, Tulsa).

— A live acoustic set by Scott McCaughey (R.E.M., The Minus 5, The Baseball Project), performing from his upcoming album of Jesse Ed Davis covers.
