What’s not to love when you get invited to attend the Grammy Gifting Lounge– even as media! The number of people from vendors to celebrities makes your head spin! It’s inspiring.
After 2 wet and cold days, Saturday (the day before the Grammys) was beautifully sunny and getting warmer FAST! Thanks to my friend Lisa Slavik of HippieChick Photography who happens to be a BFF & a music lover too so for her it was perfect timing!
We met up in the garage (go figure but the cell phones were working at the bottom floor of this garage! off we went to get credentialed and into the suite. Brisk and cool outside, once inside this gifting lounge curated by Distinctive Assets , an event company created by Lash Fary
This year the Grammys gifting lounge had a more zen approach as compared to last year. The approach was done exceptionally well by Seyie Designs and there is a separate video that features Seyie talking about how she set up this suite.

YES there is more!! If you have questions about what brand of guitar you might want to buy and want to do some comparison shopping, you should check out this article from Beginner Guitar HQ.
I have interviewed many musicians and finding a great guitar that fulfills their needs is really important. Most professional musicians spend time in stores or at big events like this Grammy event or at music conventions trying out different brands and new models that are being launched. Beginner Guitar HQ is a very helpful site particularly for musicians that are seeking to find a guitar that suits their needs.
The article link I am sharing should provide you some useful information: https://beginnerguitarhq.com/electric-guitar-brands/!

What a funny and eclectic mix of stuff. The five times distilled tequila must be a hit. So they give all this stuff to celebrities? Did you get a bag too?
nope! I don’t get anything.. until they see all the posts run.. And it won’t be much of anything that will be things that I would REALLY like to try .. like the tequila. Considering I cover a LOT of spirits.. one would think. But the people on the videos are really good if you have a chance to look at those
