MusiCares and Gibson are excited to bring back
Music on a Mission for music fans worldwide to enjoy GRAMMY® Week and be a part of helping musicians in need because music gives so much to the world. The virtual broadcast and fundraising event will include never-before-seen performances from today's biggest stars and impassioned testimonials from members of the music community who have been helped by MusiCares.
"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," said
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."
"MusiCares does so much for our music community, the critical care and aid they provide is needed now more than ever in recent years," adds

Music on a Mission back, and to continue to raise awareness and funds for MusiCares."
Music on a Mission was first held in March 2021 to respond to the thousands of live event professionals, tour crews, songwriters, producers, engineers, performers, and support staff left unemployed as the COVID-19 pandemic devastated the music community. Upwards of 17,000 people bought tickets, with over 850,000 supporter page views, raising over $2 million, which was distributed directly back into the hands of those in need in the music industry.
