Dave Grohl and Daughter Violet Cover Janis Ian's 'At Seventeen'

Dave Grohl was joined by his daughter Violet for the fourth night ofHanukkah Sessions, along with collaborator and keyboardist Greg Kurstin.

Sitting on a stool in front of a live audience at the Largo in Los Angeles, Violet sang Janis Ian’s iconic song, “At Seventeen.” The 1975 hit is described in the video caption as “one of the all-time classic coming-of-age anthems.”

In September, Violet took to the stage at both Taylor Hawkins memorial concerts in London and L.A. And last year, the younger Grohl and her father released a cover of X’s “Nausea,” which originally appears on the band’s 1980 debut album.

The “Hanukkah Sessions,” which was launched by Grohl and Kurstinback in 2020, continues to celebrate the holiday by sharingcoversof songs by Jewish artists.

Yesterday, Inara George performed for night three of theHanukkah Sessionsto cover 10cc’s “The Things We Do For Love” with Jack Black and Kyle Gass of Tenacious D as backing vocals. This year’s sessions also featured with Pink, who sang “Get the Party Started” onnight two, and Judd Apatow, who took to the stage on the first day to belt the big opening number with a cover of Blood, Sweat and Tears’ “Spinning Wheel.”
