MusiCares, the charitable arm of the Recording Academy, has been working hard to help those in the music industry affected by the deadly LA wildfires, so maybe you’d want to consider bidding during its annual pre-Grammy auction of memorabilia from music’s top stars.
This year’s MusiCares Charity Relief Auction will take place Feb. 2 at the Recording Academy in Santa Monica, California, and online at juliensauctions.com. Among the items up for grabs are autographed guitars from Billy Joel, James Taylor, Sam Smith, Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus and Dua Lipa.
An autographed black felt top hat that Stevie Nicks wore during her promotional photo shoot for Saturday Night Live last year is also up for grabs, as is a military-style jacket worn onstage by Lionel Richie and a collection of albums autographed by Sting.
There’s also an autographed tour poster from Meghan Trainor, a handwritten set list from Coldplay and the suit that Teddy Swims wore when he performed at the CMA Awards in November. One unique item is an acoustic guitar signed by Sheryl Crow, Paul McCartney, Jon Bon Jovi, The Eagles, the late JD Souther, Don Johnson, Pitbull, Snoop Dogg and more at last year’s Jimmy Buffett tribute concert.
Proceeds will benefit the MusiCares Foundation, which, according to a press release, “raises essential funds that help music professionals recover from crises, including the unprecedented challenges posed by the recent wildfires in Greater Los Angeles.”
