Robby Krieger and Graham Nash Sign for Sweet Relief

The 'Sign for Sweet Relief' Project

We're excited to tell you about a special project RPM has been working on with photographer Alec Byrne and our friends at Sweet Relief Musicians Fund.

Over the next year or two, a single copy of Alec's book LONDON ROCK: The Unseen Archive will travel the globe, collecting the signatures of the many legendary musicians featured in its pages. Participants so far? Robby Krieger and John Densmore of the Doors; singer/songwriter Graham Nash; and Grace Slick, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady of Jefferson Airplane.

Eventually, if all goes well, the book will contain over 50 signatures, becoming a one-of-a-kind rock and roll artifact. RPM will then sell the book in a special auction and donate the proceeds to Sweet Relief. Follow along on RPM's Instagram to stay up to date on the latest.

A great big Special Thanks to our friends at Mr. Musichead for their help with this project.
