Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young Items Lead Julien's MusiCares Charity Relief Auction

01-15-2025

(HPR) Before music's biggest stars gather to honor the highest music achievements of the year, Julien's Auctions and MusiCares will come together to light up Music's Biggest Night with this year's best music memorabilia up for auction in the star studded MusiCares Charity Relief Auction live at The Recording Academy in Santa Monica, California and online on juliensauctions.com on Sunday, February 2, 2025.

The Julien's Auctions MusiCares Charity Relief Auction holds a vital place in supporting MusiCares' mission to provide a safety net for music professionals in times of need. This annual event, held in conjunction with the MusiCares Persons of the Year celebration, raises essential funds that help music professionals recover from crises, including the unprecedented challenges posed by the recent wildfires in Greater Los Angeles. While the items on auction honor the legacy and creativity of music's biggest icons, the funds raised have a very tangible impact-supporting services such as disaster relief, mental health resources, addiction recovery, and essential living expenses for those in the music community. This year, the auction takes on even greater importance as MusiCares continues its work to address both the immediate and ongoing needs of music professionals affected by these devastating events.

This Official GRAMMY Week event precedes the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards Telecast. Proceeds will benefit MusiCares, the leading music industry charity. MusiCares provides the music community a support system of health and human services across a spectrum of needs including physical and mental health, addiction recovery, unforeseen personal emergencies and disaster relief.

It was announced today that more than 60 exclusive, one-of-a-kind items given by the world's greatest music and pop culture icons of our time including instruments, stage worn wardrobe, personal items, signed memorabilia and more from the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Meghan Trainor, Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo, Ringo Starr, Slash, Quincy Jones and for the first time at Julien's and MusiCares' annual initiative, wardrobe from K-pop groups, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, SEVENTEEN and NewJeans, will hit the auction block.
