J2B2 (John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band)

Get ready for a night of acoustic fireworks and rootsy brilliance as J2B2 – John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band – takes the Caffè Lena stage! This all-star ensemble features four legendary musicians whose combined résumés span decades and genres:

John Jorgenson – Grammy winner and multi-instrumentalist (guitar, mandolin, vocals), known for his work with Elton John, Desert Rose Band, and Earl Scruggs.

Herb Pedersen – Iconic banjoist and vocalist from The Dillards and Old and In the Way, with credits alongside Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, and more.

Mark Fain – Longtime bassist for Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, with recording and touring credits including Dolly Parton and Allison Krauss.

Patrick Sauber – Rising multi-instrumentalist powerhouse, known for tours with Peter Rowan and appearances in the film A Mighty Wind.

With tight harmonies, seasoned showmanship, and jaw-dropping musicianship, J2B2 delivers the high lonesome sound with a twist — blending traditional bluegrass with West Coast folk-rock flair. Their debut album From the Crow’s Nest, recorded at Sheryl Crow’s Nashville studio, showcases their fresh take on roots music.

Whether you’re a lifelong bluegrass fan or new to the genre, this is one of those rare shows that transcends labels and simply delivers magic.
