Steven Tyler’s sixth annual Jam for Janie Grammy Awards Viewing Party will take place on Feb. 2 at the Hollywood Palladium, the rocker announced.
Hosted by Grammy-winning comedian Tiffany Haddish, the star-studded charity event will feature performances by Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Linda Perry, Matt Sorum, and Nuno Bettencourt. A highlight of the evening will be a reunion performance by members of Aerosmith.
The event supports Janie’s Fund, Tyler’s nonprofit dedicated to helping young women and girls who have survived abuse. This year, it will also benefit the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and the Widows, Orphans, and Disabled Firefighter’s Fund. More than 100 firefighters, recognized for their efforts in combating California wildfires, will be in attendance.
“What the Los Angeles community has endured with these wildfires is unthinkable,” Tyler said in a statement. “Music has healing powers, and we hope to bring a moment of joy and levity to our first-responder firefighters and those most affected by the fires. The trauma experienced by the girls we work with is also unthinkable, and we will continue to shed light and support the amazing work of Janie’s Fund.”
The evening will include a red carpet, cocktail reception, dinner, live auction, and an exclusive after-party. Funds raised will support Janie’s Fund, as well as provide critical resources for lifesaving equipment and support for the firefighting community.
Event chairs include Ace and Matt Sorum, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Andrea Bocelli, Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross, Bill Maher, Bo Derek, Chris and Rich Robinson, Dolly Parton, Flavor Flav, Jane Lynch, Kayte and Kelsey Grammer, Lionel Richie, Melissa Joan Hart, Miley Cyrus, Nuno Bettencourt, Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, Sammy Hagar, Scarlett Johansson, and Shep Gordon.
Named after Aerosmith’s 1989 hit Janie’s Got a Gun, which won the band their first Grammy for best rock performance, Janie’s Fund has been a lifeline for vulnerable girls. This year’s expanded mission aims to raise vital funds for lifesaving equipment and resources.
