We’re excited to announce a new release from the Gibson Band, a revolving collective of musicians who join together to make music and raise funds and awareness for worthy causes. CEO of Gibson, Cesar Gueikian talks about how the new benefit single, "I Can Breathe" came together with him on rhythm guitars and piano, Duff McKagan on lead vocals and lyrics, and Slash on lead guitar and solos.

Gibson Records, Duff McKagan, Slash, and Cesar Gueikian, will donate 100% proceeds from the sale of “I Can Breathe,” in addition to all auction funds raised to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), through Gibson Gives. NAMI is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health resource organization that is dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. NAMI’s mission is to create a world where all people affected by mental illness live healthy, fulfilling lives supported by a community that cares.

The cover artwork for “I Can Breathe” is based on a large-scale original painting by Serj Tankian titled “They’re Coming.” The original painting by Serj Tankian will be auctioned off alongside a one-of-a-kind Gibson Les Paul Standard guitar which also features the hand-painted artwork as part of Julien’s Auctions forthcoming global auction.
