How Music Will Change 100 Lives This June

Something big is coming to Nashville.

On June 7, during CMA Fest, Free Guitars 4 Kids will celebrate one of our favorite traditions of the year—our annual Gibson Giveaway, where 100 kids will receive brand-new Gibson guitars through partnerships with local nonprofits and community organizations.

This isn’t just a giveaway—it’s a moment of transformation. These young recipients have already been selected through powerful programs across the Nashville area, each child carrying a story of resilience, talent, and untapped creativity. On this day, we get to place an instrument of hope in their hands.

Together with Gibson Gives, and the support of generous local sponsors this event is a highlight of our year—and a bold reminder of what’s possible when music, mission, and community come together.

Every guitar represents more than an instrument—it’s a launchpad for a dream, a symbol of possibility, and a call to play it forward.

We’ll be counting down to June 7 by highlighting the amazing partners who help bring this moment to life. From local champions to national sponsors, this is a collective celebration of generosity and vision.

Mark your calendar. Stay tuned. And follow along as we get closer to a day that will ring out in more ways than one.
