Gibson, the iconic guitar brand with over 130 years of music history behind it, is cranking up the volume on its London flagship store with a fresh series of free live gigs: the Gibson Garage London Acoustic Sessions.

Every month, the Gibson Garage (found just off Oxford Street on Eastcastle Street) is hosting an eclectic line-up of up-and-coming stars and homegrown talent, all taking to the store's own stage. June's line-up includes sets from Merrick Winter and Matt Ginno, with plenty more names to be announced. And it's all totally free.

These sessions are part of a new partnership with Busk in London, the city's official busking programme, supported by the Mayor and managed by Found in Music. The gigs shine a spotlight on some of London's best street performers, who will be showcasing their original tunes using the very best handcrafted Gibson acoustics straight out of the brand's Montana workshop.

Alongside the live stage, you'll find one of the UK's biggest selections of Gibson and Epiphone acoustic guitars, album launches, artist appearances, and more happening throughout the year.
