Joni Mitchell, Post Malone, Doechii and More Brighten a Subdued Clive Davis 50th Anniversary Pre-Grammy Benefit for Wildfire Relief


The Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Event, a wildfire-relief benefit this year, featured sets from Post Malone, Joni Mitchell, Doechii, Shaboozey and more.

Post Malone, Shaboozey, Teddy Swims and Doechii represented the new guard while Joni Mitchell, Barry Manilow, Michael Buble and Chris Robinson delivered for the veterans at a subdued night overall at 50th anniversary of music mogul Clive Davis’ annual Pre-Grammy “Event” — the fact that it was called and “event” in addition to the usual “gala” reflected the more-serious tone of the annual party that was transformed into a fundraiser for wildfire relief. Gracie Abrams could be seen chatting with Nancy Pelosi and Post Malone (not at the same time, unfortunately), and sat at a front-row center table presided over by hitmaker Jack Antonoff, along with Grammy songwriter of the year nominee Amy Allen and others. It is safe to say that nowhere else can one witness performances from Post Malone, Barry Manilow, Doechii, Yolanda Adams and all of the above, on an evening that kicked off with a bruising hard rock medley of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath songs by an all-star band featuring Chris and Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes, Metallica’s Robert Trujillo, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and superproducer Andrew Watt on lead guitar.
