Description
The Eagles are one of the most creatively and commercially successful bands of all time, selling over 100 million albums worldwide. In the course of their decade-long career, the group won four Grammy awards, topped the album charts five times and became one of the top concert draws of the era. They were the first band in history to rack up domestic unit sales of over 10 million for two separate albums – Hotel California (15 million and counting) and Eagles – Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 (which, at 26 million copies, surpasses Michael Jackson’s Thriller as the best selling album of all time in the U.S.).
The facts and figures of Henley’s subsequent solo career are also impressive. In 1982, his much anticipated debut album, “I Can’t Stand Still,” featuring the hit single “Dirty Laundry,” established a creative direction that would make him one of the most relevant, and resonant, musical voices of our time – with a gift for melody and lyric in the service of passionate conviction and incisive, socio-political observation.
1984’s “Building The Perfect Beast” yielded four more hot singles: “The Boys of Summer,” “All She Wants To Do is Dance,” “Sunset Grill” and “Not Enough Love In The World.” That year, Henley garnered Grammy nominations for Record, Song and Producer of the Year and won the award for Best Rock Vocal (Male) for “The Boys Of Summer.”
The artist’s notable track record continued unabated with 1989’s “The End Of The Innocence,” which yielded three more Henley hits: “The Heart Of The Matter,” “The Last Worthless Evening” and the title track, which brought with it another Best Rock Vocal Grammy. At last count, “The End Of The Innocence” had racked up sales of over six million in the U.S. alone.
2000's “Inside Job” was the Warner Bros. Records debut of Don Henley and his first new release since 1989’s multi-platinum “The End Of The Innocence.” Written and produced by Henley, in collaboration with Stan Lynch (formerly of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers), “Inside Job” featured thirteen new songs, including the single “Taking You Home,” and comprises, according to the artist, “a diary of sorts – a chronicle of the past eleven years.”
Henley’s career as a musician and an activist continues to roll on. To date, his Walden Woods Project has raised over 22 million dollars – most of which has gone toward the purchase of environmentally sensitive and historically significant acres in the Walden Ponds environs.
Other causes to which Henley has lent his name and talents: the passage of clean water legislation in California; the preservation of wildlife habitat and open space in the Santa Monica Mountains; the establishment of a wetland science research institute and numerous environmental education programs, both in the public school system and in colleges and universities in his native East Texas. He has also participated in numerous other fundraising efforts including Farm Aid, The Race to Erase MS, The Rhythm and Blues Foundation and The Rainforest Foundation, to name a few.
About the Ticket Supplier: Wente Vineyards
After learning about winemaking from Charles Krug, C. H. Wente, a first-generation immigrant from Germany, founded his own winery in 1883. Recognizing that the warm days, cool nights and gravelly soils of the Livermore Valley were ideal for growing grapes, he purchased 48 acres and planted vineyards. In 1918, C. H. Wente's sons Ernest and Herman joined the business, with Ernest managing the vineyards and Herman acting as winemaker. The company was later passed on to Ernest's only son Karl, and in 1977, Karl's young son Eric took the helm. Continuing the 125 year legacy, the winery is managed today by the Fourth Generation of the Wente family, Eric, Philip, Carolyn, and the Fifth Generation, Christine and Karl. The winery has grown to include over 2,000 acres of vineyards in the Livermore Valley, San Francisco Bay and 800 acres in Arroyo Seco, Monterey.
