“Kenny Loggins is one of those rare artists who fearlessly crosses musical genres and whose songs have touched the hearts of generations of fans,” said Theatre Within artistic director Joe Raiola. “Beyond that, Kenny’s charitable impact, particularly for children’s causes, has been seismic and selfless.”

Loggins added that this award is even more special to him as he was inspired by the Beatles to form a career in music. Like many people, he was influenced by the Beatles’ performance on The Ed Sullivan Show and was entranced by the magic of the iconic band.
