Panelists
Musician, actor, performer, writer, and
an activist against substance abuse,
Henry Rollins joined
the band Black Flag as vocalist in 1981
and, upon the demise of this legendary
rock group, he formed Rollins Band.
Beyond taking the stage as a musician,
Rollins does speaking engagements, and,
along with band dates, has averaged over
100 shows a year over 25 years, around
the world. A Grammy Award winner for the
performance of his book Get in the
Van, he does not confine his
performances to the stage, having
performed in movies and on TV in Bad
Boys II, Heat, The
Devil’s Tomb, and Sons of
Anarchy on FX. Rollins hosted IFC’s
The Henry Rollins Show and
recently filmed a series of
documentaries for IFC. He currently
hosts his weekly LA radio show on KCRW,
is a regular contributor to LA
Weekly.com and VanityFair.com, and runs
2-13-61, a publishing company he created
to release books, CDs, and DVDs.
Last year marked the 30th anniversary of
blues, folk, jazz musician,
singer-songwriter, producer, and
performer Rickie Lee Jones'
storied recording career, which exploded
in 1979 with her self-titled debut album
and top 10 hit, "Chuck E.'s in Love."
Following the success of her debut,
Jones enjoyed buzz from her indelible
Saturday Night Live appearance,
Rolling Stone cover, and won a
Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Three
decades' worth of acclaimed creative
journeys ensued with both her singing
and writing voice remaining, and along
the way she has influenced the next
generation of singer/songwriters.
Steven Adler is the
original drummer and a founding member
of Guns N’ Roses. He participated in the
second season of VH1’s Celebrity
Rehab with Dr. Drew and was also on
Sober House, which focused on a
sober living environment. In 2003, he
founded the band Adler’s Appetite, which
has released an EP and continues to
perform live. In July 2010, It Books
released Adler’s memoir, My Appetite
For Destruction: Sex, and Drugs, and
Guns N’ Roses. The book follows him
through childhood, when he dreamt of
becoming a rock star, into the highs and
lows of his ascent to fame, culminating
in his sobriety and continuing success
in the world of rock. He lives in Los
Angeles with his wife Carolina Adler.
Darryl “DMC” McDaniels (Run-DMC)
is a musician, founding member of the
hip-hop group Run-DMC, philanthropist,
and author of King of Rock: Respect,
Responsibility, and My Life with Run-DMC.
In the 25 years since Run-DMC was first
created, the group has changed music and
made history as the first rap group to
grace the cover of Rolling Stone
and appear on MTV. Thirty million record
sales later, and six years after the
untimely death of his bandmate Jam
Master Jay, DMC continues to create,
inspire, and motivate. In between his
work as a musician, published author,
and speaker, DMC co-founded the Felix
Organization, a nonprofit that works
with adoptees and foster children. DMC
has received various awards including
the Hard Rock’s Love All Serve All
Award for his numerous philanthropic
endeavors. Last year he was inducted
into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame as a
member of Run-DMC. He is currently
working on his second solo album,
entitled Block Music.
Bank of America is the Proud
Season Sponsor of Carnegie Hall.
