Music Heals International (MHI) whose global mission brings music and musicians to children in need to rebuild communities and inspire resilience and creativity, has announced the first-ever annual recipient for the MHI Rob Wasserman Memorial Ambassador Award in partnership with Gibson Gives, the philanthropic division of Nashville based Gibson Guitar. MHI will recognize singer, songwriter and musician Lukas Nelson whose commitment to music and its healing power reflects the spirit of this award at this inaugural event. This one-night-only, intimate event features a special live music performance from Lukas Nelson and Friends, including Paul Beaubrun from Arcade Fire, and more, on Wednesday, June 18 from 7:00pm-9:30pm at the Gibson Garage Nashville located at 209 10th Ave S, Suite 209 in downtown Nashville, TN.

Following Haiti’s devastating earthquake songwriter in 2010, Music Heals International Founder and Executive Director, Sara Wasserman began volunteering in the country through J/P Haitian Relief Organization, now CORE -. After seeing the unmistakable impact of music as a tool to help children cope and find joy after this traumatic uprooting, Sara started Music Heals International as a way to bring music education to the children of Delmas 32 and communities beyond.
