Kenny Loggins

Daryl Hall started Live From Daryl's House, the free monthly web show in late 2007, after having the idea of "playing with my friends and putting it up on the internet." The show has since garnered acclaim from Rolling Stone, SPIN, Daily Variety, CNN, BBC, and Yahoo! Music. The influential blogger Bob Lefsetz cited Live From Daryl's House as a perfect example of a veteran artist reinventing himself in the digital age by collaborating with both established colleagues and newer performers. Kenny Loggins' remarkable four-decade-plus career has brought him from the top of the charts to the toast of the Grammys. He's had smash hits on Hollywood's favorite soundtracks, rocked worldwide stages, and found his way into people’s hearts while bringing his soulful, beautiful voice to platinum albums in a wide variety of genres. At Daryl's house, Kenny Loggins plays his greatest hits, including “Your Mama Don't Dance,” “Footloose,” “Danny's Song,” and “You Make My Dreams.”
