Additionally, MusiCares: Music On A Mission will feature a never-before-seen MusiCares performance from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.

MusiCares is an independent 501(c)(3) charity founded by the Recording Academy in 1989. “Music on a Mission started as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic and we were blown away by the support from the music community, industry professionals and of course music fans,” explained Laura Segura, Executive Director of MusiCares. “We’re so thankful that Gibson recognizes the importance of this event to both fans and professional musicians and that they’ve signed on to help us make Music on a Mission a reality again this year.”
Tickets for MusiCares: Music On A Mission are on sale now through Mandolin. Proceeds will be distributed by MusiCares directly to those in need in the music industry.
