Based out of Williamsburg, VA, Hornsby first rose to national prominence with The Way  It Is, his 1986 Grammy-winning debut album with The Range. The title track became the  most-played song on American radio in 1987 while Tupac Shakur's timeless song  "Changes" builds on "The Way It Is" and set the stage for many subsequent versions of  the track. In 1991, Hornsby collaborated with Bonnie Raitt, playing on her iconic hit "I  Can't Make You Love Me." Additionally, Hornsby was a part-time member of the  Grateful Dead from September 1990 to March 1992, performing over 100 concerts in  America and Europe. The 13-time Grammy nominee has also solidified his status as a  highly sought-after collaborator. Hornsby's own 23 albums have sold over 11 million  copies worldwide, and he has appeared on over 100 records including releases with  Bob Dylan, Don Henley, the Grateful Dead, Stevie Nicks, Ricky Skaggs, Bob Seger,  Chaka Khan, Bon Iver, Brandon Flowers, Bonnie Raitt, Sting, Mavis Staples, Willie  Nelson and more. His most recent studio album, Flicted, was released this past May.

Jones to Ben Folds — and inspired original  works by some of today's foremost composers, including Andrew Norman, Caroline  Shaw, Nico Muhly and Missy Mazzoli. They have performed around the world in venues  of all sizes, including the Sydney Opera House, Carnegie Hall, the Elbphilharmonie  Hamburg and Madison Square Garden.
