Gibson Gives, artists, and partners’ wildfire relief donation efforts showcase the power of music
Gibson artists left an unforgettable mark on the global stage through powerhouse performances at the 67th GRAMMY® Awards, MusiCares® “Persons of the Year” honoring The Grateful Dead, and the star-studded FIREAID benefit where Joni Mitchell signed an Epiphone J-45. Gibson celebrated these monumental moments with an unwavering commitment to music’s healing potential.
Gibson brought philanthropic aid to the 67th GRAMMY Awards FIREAID, Jam For Janie, and the MusiCares “Persons of the Year” events.
From raising funds for wildfire relief through Gibson Gives—the company’s philanthropic arm—to uniting forces with partners for guitar signings and charity auctions, the collective efforts of Gibson artists have generated millions of dollars in donations. Highlights of these fundraising initiatives include FIREAID, Jam For Janie, and the MusiCares “Persons of the Year” galas, each underscoring the power of music to heal, unite, and give back to communities in need.

One of the most talked-about moments of the 67th GRAMMY Awards came during Chappell Roan’s debut performance of “Pink Pony Club.” In a quest to create a memorable visual spectacle, Roan’s musical director, Heather Brown, and production manager, Joel Eriksson, teamed up and partnered with the Gibson Los Angeles team for a show-stopping accessory—a custom disco ball guitar.
In just three days, the team transformed a Gibson Les Paul Special Tribute into a mirrorball masterpiece by hand cutting, shaping, and gluing glass pieces, resulting in a dazzling instrument that elevated guitarist Andrea Ferrero’s solo into an instant GRAMMY highlight.
