Guitar Players and Musicians Unite to Support Their Road Crews: Six String Salute
On September 17th, 2020, I’ll be hosting the Six String Salute, a virtual concert to support and celebrate the touring and venue crews who are the backbone of live music industry by raising money to support of Crew Nation, a global relief fund for live music crews.

Additionally, a number of crew members from prominent bands will also share their stories and tales from the road throughout the evening.
