Gibson, the iconic American instrument brand, continues to make its mark on the global music scene with its legendary guitars and a commitment to philanthropy. Over the past week, Gibson artists delivered powerful performances at the 67th GRAMMY® Awards, the MusiCares “Persons of the Year” event honoring The Grateful Dead, and FIREAID, showcasing the brand’s significant influence in the industry.
Beyond its musical contributions, Gibson, through its philanthropic division Gibson Gives, has played a vital role in supporting wildfire relief efforts. Artists and partners have come together to sign guitars for major charity auctions, raising millions of dollars for relief organizations. These efforts were highlighted during high-profile events such as FIREAID, Jam For Janie, and the MusiCares tribute to The Grateful Dead.
Gibson also celebrated its artists who received GRAMMY® awards in 2025. Among them were renowned musicians including Sabrina Carpenter, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Andrew Watt, Chris Stapleton, Miley Cyrus, Josh Osborne, Kacey Musgraves, Sierra Ferrell, Shakira, and Amy Allen. Their achievements further reinforce Gibson’s legacy as a brand that supports and inspires musical excellence.
One of the standout moments at the Grammys came during Chappell Roan’s performance of Pink Pony Club. Recognizing the need for a visually striking instrument, musical director Heather Brown and production manager Joel Eriksson collaborated with Gibson to create a custom disco ball-inspired guitar. In just three days, the Gibson Los Angeles team meticulously designed and handcrafted a Gibson Les Paul Special Tribute guitar adorned with Mirrorball glass. The dazzling instrument took center stage during guitarist Andrea Ferrero’s solo, adding an unforgettable visual and musical element to the performance.
Gibson’s presence at these major events highlights not only its commitment to musical innovation but also its dedication to giving back. Through Gibson Gives the company continues to leverage its influence to support meaningful causes, demonstrating the power of music in bringing communities together.
With a legacy spanning generations, Gibson remains at the forefront of the music industry, providing artists with the tools to create and inspire while fostering positive change through philanthropy.
