Gill, Harris play Leno Wednesday
Sunday, September 27, 2009 – The upcoming Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's All for the Hall Los Angeles fundraiser on Oct. 1 with Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris, Dwight Yoakam, Melissa Etheridge and friends performing together will be preceded the night before by a special duet from Harris and Gill on NBC's new primetime Jay Leno Show.
All for the Hall Los Angeles will offer an opportunity to see these singer-songwriters interact in a "guitar pull," where they will accompany one another as they take turns swapping songs, stories and personal recollections
The Museum launched All for the Hall, its' first-ever non-bricks-and-mortar fundraising campaign, in 2005. The campaign addresses the museum's need for long-term financial security and will provide a safety net for the institution and its work. This is the third year the event on the road, hosting previous All for the Hall events in New York in 2007 and 2008.

Since gracing Gram Parsons' solo albums in the early '70s, Harris' vocals have been among the most heavenly in contemporary music. Her latest effort, "Hard Bargain," is no exception.
