“Honey, I’m Good” singer Andy Grammer will headline JCK Rocks this year. The event is scheduled for Sunday, June 4, after the Jewelers for Children Facets of Hope gala.
Las Vegas—Organizers of the JCK jewelry trade show have announced that Andy Grammer will headline JCK Rocks 2023, which will take place June 4. 
 
A singer, songwriter, and record producer, 39-year-old Grammer released his self-titled debut in 2011 and followed up with “Magazines or Novels” in 2014.
 
His biggest hits include the certified triple-platinum single “Honey, I’m Good,” which peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard “Hot 100” chart, and the singles “Keep Your Head Up,” “Fine by Me,” and “Good to Be Alive (Hallelujah).” 
 
The soundtrack for 2019 movie “Five Feet Apart” features his single “Don’t Give Up on Me.” He also performed the single for the video that played throughout ESPN’s 13th annual V Week for Cancer Research in 2020.  
 
Grammer has performed on “The Today Show,” “American Idol,” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” among others, and was a contestant on season 21 of “Dancing With the Stars.” 
 
His latest album, “Naïve,” came out in 2019.

“Grammer continues to engage, energize, and empower audiences with stomping stadium-size pop anthems meant to be shared at full volume,” JCK organizers said.
 
“His observations and affirmations pick you back up when you need it, affirm your potential, and encourage you to keep going.” 
 
JCK Rocks will take place immediately following Jewelers for Children’s annual Facets of Hope gala on Sunday, June 4. Both events will happen in the Palazzo Ballroom on level 5 of The Venetian. 

Doors open at 9 p.m. JFC attendees will have early access. 
 
Brosway Italia is the headline sponsor for JCK Rocks, which is open to all JCK and Luxury badge holders. No tickets are required. 
 
JCK Pro badge holders will have a private entrance and reserved area. 
 
The JCK show in Las Vegas is scheduled to run Friday, June 2 through Monday, June 5. Luxury is May 31-June 5, with May 31 and June 1 the invitation-only days. 
 
The full schedule of events surrounding JCK is available online, as is the schedule for the JCK Talks education sessions.  Show organizers said they will continue to update both schedules in the coming months.
