The first performers have been announced for the 2020 MusiCares Person of the Year tribute concert honoring Aerosmith. Grammy Award-winning artists Gary Clark Jr., Foo Fighters, H.E.R., John Legend, and John Mayer, past Grammy Award nominee Alice Cooper and current Grammy Award nominees Jonas Brothers, Emily King, and Yola join the performance lineup for the annual tribute concert on January 24, 2020 in Los Angeles.
Aerosmith is being recognized for their considerable philanthropic efforts over five decades in support of a number of charities around the world, including Steven Tyler’s Janie’s Fund. Aerosmith is the second band to get the award, the first being Fleetwood Mac in 2018.
2020 marks the 30th anniversary of the MusiCares Person of the Year honor, one of the most prestigious events held during Grammy Week. Proceeds from the event provide support for MusiCares and its vital safety net of health and human services programs, ensuring music people have a place to turn in times of financial, medical and personal need.
The event leads into the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, January 26. The awards will be broadcast live on CBS.
