Chris Hillman & Herb Pedersen in Concert
with Special Guest: John Jorgenson

The Desert Rose Band was formed in 1985 with primary songwriter Chris Hillman on lead vocals, guitar, and mandolin. Other members, culled mainly from Southern California session players, included banjoist/guitarist Herb Pedersen, guitarist John Jorgenson, steel guitarist Jay Dee Maness, bassist Bill Bryson, and drummer Steve Duncan. Their first single was a 1986 cover of Johnnie & Jack’s “Ashes of Love,” which climbed into the country Top 30. Their self-titled debut album followed in 1987 and spawned a number one hit in “One Step Forward,” plus two more Top Tens in “Love Reunited” and “He’s Back and I’m Blue.” 1988’s Running produced two number one smash hits, “I Still Believe in You” and “Summer Wind,” as well as the number three hit “She Don’t Love Nobody.” 1990’s Pages of Life brought their final Top Ten hits in “Story of Love” and “Start All Over Again.” Three albums were recorded between 1991-1993, “True Love”, Traditional” and “Life Goes On”. The Desert Rose band has won three Academy of Country Music Awards and has received several nominations from the Country Music Association and the Grammys.
