If you’ve ever dreamed of rocking out like U2 or strumming the same guitar as Paul McCartney — here’s your chance.
U2’s The Edge has pulled together instruments to auction off to raise money for an organization called Music Rising which helps fund school music programs and most recently, has helped musicians who were out of work because of the pandemic.
The “Guitar Icons” auction will take place on Saturday (12/11)
