performers.
In 2018, Jesse Malin and radio host Jeff Raspe formed Love It to Life Inc, a non-profit organization that
produces an annual StrummerJam event and donates the proceeds to charity. This
has led to Gates of the West, which
unite musicians annually for a celebration of the music and message of Joe Strummer and the Clash before live
audiences in New York City and Los Angeles, California. This year's concerts
benefited the Joe Strummer Foundation and Music & Memory. The Los Angeles
concert at the Roxy Theatre on January 11 listed Duff McKagan of Guns N'
Roses, Jakob Dylan of the Wallflowers, Wayne Kramer of the MC5,
Butch Walker, and other guests.
