Jessie Colin Young | Acclaimed Songwriter, Singer, Instrumentalist, Producer

THE MIKE GORMLEY SHOW - Mike Gormley is back with an incredible interview with music legend Jessie Colin Young! Jesse Colin Young has been a pioneer of American roots music for more than half a century. He has left a unique mark on the intersecting worlds of folk, blues, jazz, country, and rock & roll. As the frontman of the Youngbloods, he immortalized the ideals of the Woodstock generation with "Get Together," an international hit that called for peace and brotherhood during the turbulent 1960s. During the decades that followed, Young expanded both his audience and his artistic range, releasing a string of solo albums that mixed socially conscious lyrics with top-tier guitar skills and gorgeous vocals. An acclaimed songwriter, singer, instrumentalist, producer, label owner, podcast host, and longtime social/environmental activist, he has established a permanent place in America's musical landscape, while continuing to make modern music that's every bit as vital as his work during the counterculture era. The GRAMMY Museum is thrilled to welcome Jesse Colin Young to the Museum’s intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater for an evening including a special screening of his film, Ridgetop, and a conversation about his album, Song for Juli, with a performance to follow. SONG FOR JULI 50th Anniversary Release To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Jesse Colin Young has released a fully remastered version of his iconic album, "Song for Juli," originally launched on September 4, 1973. The all-new version is available on all streaming platforms as well as extremely limited-edition vinyl. This album is the fourth solo album by singer-songwriter and former Youngblood. The album had a higher chart placing than any of the Youngblood albums and stayed on the charts longer than any other album he currently created. Several of the songs include stories about Young's Ridgetop home in Northern California. The house burned down in 1995 by the Mount Vision Fires. https://www.jessecolinyoung.com The Mike Gormley Show Host | Mike Gormley Executive Producer | Jeremiah D.
