Women Who Rock - Benefit Concerts

Philadelphia, PA - August 28, 2024 saw the return of the annual Women Who Rock Benefit Concert, presented by Gibson Gives at Stage AE in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Ahead of the event, we spoke to Women Who Rock founder Melinda Colaizzi and legendary singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge. Etheridge will headline the 100 percent female-fronted music lineup at the show, and has signed a 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue, which is up for auction in aid of the Magee-Womens Research Institute. Gibson Gives supported with a grant.

“The Women Who Rock benefit concert is all about raising funds for life-saving women’s health research,” says Melissa Etheridge. “I went through my own health issue 20 years ago, I’m still cancer-free now, and I know how important it is for women’s health to be studied specifically and independently.”
