Country start Vince Gill and friends performed in Los Angeles for the annual "All for the Hall" fundraiser event.

The money raised at the event goes to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and it's award-winning music-education program.

Gill recruited four Grammy winners for the fundraiser singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves, country and bluegrass sensation Chris Stapleton and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Joe Walsh and James Taylor.

"When Vince calls, I come, and when I found out that Joe was going to be here, that sort of sealed it," said Taylor.

"Well, it's an old trick. What Vince did was he told James I was going to be here and he told me James was going to be here. And I fall for it every time. That's why we're here," said Walsh. "I just want to say that the Hall of Fame and the museum is really a national treasure, because it's really America's music."

Gill founded the "All for the Hall" fundraiser in 2009.

He usually hosts the event twice annually - once each year in Nashville, and then alternate years in New York City and Los Angeles.
