| As it celebrates 130 years of music history, Gibson continues to shape sound across generations and genres of music for over a century, becoming one of the most relevant, played, and loved music brands around the world. Last night, Gibson Gives--the philanthropic division of Gibson, and the nonprofit Guitars For Vets, raised funds to support U.S. Military Veterans with “Rock To Remember,” a benefit concert from the legendary rock group Cheap Trick. Through the benefit concert and Live Auction which took place at the Gibson Garage Nashville--the brand’s flagship store in the heart of downtown Nashville--Gibson Gives raised over $60,000 for Guitars For Vets. |
