An Evening With Judith Hill, The Cult and More Spotlights GRAMMY Museum in February

Every month, the GRAMMY Museum has some of the most special nights out in the city for music lovers. Stars like Taylor Swift and Conan O’Brien have stopped by in the past to perform and host events. Some events feature music, others have special talks and others have even more to offer guests.

Ken Ehrlich | Feb. 3
For some 40 years, Ken Ehrlich has been a mainstay in music and pop culture. It was back in 1974 when he started his longstanding career creating PBS’ “Soundstage.” Years later, in 1992, he’d play a big role in bringing the Movie Awards to MTV. Not only is he a creator but a producer, too, and has even taken that role on when it’s come to the GRAMMYs themselves. He has worked in entertainment, but he’s been political as well producing a fundraiser concert for none other than President Obama. Join Ehrlich for an evening that’ll focus on his lengthy career moderated by Museum Executive Director, Bob Santelli.

The Cult | Feb. 4
British rockers The Cult are heading to the Clive Davis Theater this month and fans are ecstatic. Ever since making their mark in the mid-80s, fans have flocked to their goth meets rock style. Much like with Depeche Mode and The Cure, there was a sense of light in the darkness they brought to life through their music that put fans at ease. So much so that when they were announced to headline Coachella in 2014 many did what they had to to ensure they’d be there. A couple of years later the buzz around them is still felt and the band is on the verge of releasing their 10th studio album called “Hidden City” on Feb. 5. Fans can join the band at the museum for a panel discussion and a very special performance.

L.A. Reid | Feb. 9
They say talent is hard to find but for some it comes naturally. L.A. Reid has been discovering the creme de la creme in music for over a 40 years now. Like Motown’s Barry Gordy and Quincy Jones, Reid has played an intrical part in bringing fans’ most favorite stars to the forefront. Without him there may never have been Toni Braxton, Rihanna and we can’t forget about the Bieber Fever that took the world by storm. Reid will be talking about his influential mark on music will also be signing copies of his latest book “Sing to Me: My Story of Making Music, Finding Magic, and Searching for Who’s Next.”

Mele Mei in L.A. | Feb. 10
Hawaiian music has this feel to it that puts listeners at ease. It’s calming and anyone who has ever been lost in it can never be blamed. That’s just the effect it has on people. To celebrate the rich culture that comes with Hawaiian sound, the GRAMMY Museum is bringing together some of the island’s best. Performances by GRAMMY winners and nominees will fill the night with Charles Brotman, Amy Hanaiali’i, Raiatea Helm and Jeff Peterson, and Pali, Kawika Kahiapo and more.

Ben Folds | Feb. 18
GRAMMY-winner Ben Folds took a classical turn with his latest record, “So There,” and it paid off. Debuting at the top of the classical chart, Folds found himself dominating a new genre and with that he’s proud of what he’s done. Over the years, he’s made waves with hit singles like the haunting “Brick” by Ben Folds Five. He’s also gone solo and toured with John Mayer. Now he’s back with a new take on music and ready to share it with fans. A discussion is followed by a quick performance.

Judith Hill | Feb. 22

In recent years, Hill has been spotted alongside Adam Levine and the rest of “The Voice” coaches on NBC. Now this soulful singer is out with her debut, “Back in Time.” She’ll be joining her fans for a night of live music and great talks.
