About All Star Guitar Night

Friday, July 13, 2012  | Nashville, TN | Renaissance Hotel
Presented by Yamaha Guitars

Now in its 18th year, Muriel Anderson’s All Star Guitar Night is NAMM’s longest running, most widely recognized, and most successful sponsored event. ASGN is a unique, guitar-centric event bringing together talented musicians for a night of both acoustic and electric music. The finest pickers on the planet assemble on stage to amaze standing-room-only audiences. The event typically features an acoustic and an electric set, featuring artists with household names as well as up-and-coming musicians.

While the evening celebrates the guitar and entertains audiences, it also raises money and awareness for a very important cause – music education for children. The artists donate their time and talent and the sponsors generously fund this event so that disadvantaged children can have access to instruments and music instruction in their schools.

All Star Guitar Night works in conjunction with Music for Life Alliance and strives to make music a reality for students of all ages and backgrounds. This year, ASGN and MFLA are dedicating the night to celebrate Little Kids Rock’s tenth year of service. The funds raised from this concert and silent auction will help Little Kids Rock expand its free programming in Nashville’s public schools. Little Kids Rock has brought free instruments and lessons to over 200,000 children in public schools across the country. Every event is unique and filled with memorable and unforgettable performances. Join us if you can!

Silent Auction, Artist Merch & Donations

We’ll have our popular silent auction outside the ballroom (bid high and bid often). It’s for a great cause and you’ll go home happy! Artist merch will also be for sale. Artists donate their time to the evening’s event so take a little bit of music home with you and you’ll go home happy!

The Venue: Nashville Renaissance Hotel

Connected directly to the Nashville Convention Center, the Renaissance Nashville Hotel in downtown Nashville is uniquely positioned steps from Music City’s top attractions.

All Star Guitar Night will take place in the Renaissance Nashville’s Grand Ballroom immediately following NAMM’s TOP 100 Dealer Awards Presentation.
