MusiCares is gearing up for their star-studded virtual GRAMMY Week fundraiser, Music On A Mission. This year, the event will be a tribute to the humans behind the music; many of whom have been out of work and struggling during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Alongside these amazing artists that will be performing, there will also be special appearances by Jesse & Joy. The event will be accessible to the public. General admission tickets cost $25.00 which was the initial parking fee at the Person of the Year Gala.
