NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The second annual “Icons of Music” charity auction to benefit the New Orleans-focused Music Rising will be held May 31 at the Hard Rock Café in New York City.

Music Rising was created by U2’s The Edge, producer Bob Ezrin, Gibson Guitar Chairman and CEO Henry Juszkiewicz with support from Guitar Center Music Foundation and MusiCares. The campaign’s goal is to help rebuild the musical heart and culture of America’s Gulf Region by replacing the musical instruments destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Music Rising, administered by The Gibson Foundation, has begun its Phase Two plans aimed at giving instruments to churches and schools in the region.

“Auction Network captures the spirit and sport of live auction events and makes them instantly global,” says Pamela A. McKissick, CEO and founder of Auction Network, a former executive with TV Guide Networks. “The ‘Icons of Music’ charity event is a perfect example of our strategy to allow more people access to world-class auction events they otherwise couldn’t attend. This helps the auction house generate more revenue and gives viewers great entertainment and unique buying opportunities. In this case, a worthy cause like Music Rising and the people of the Gulf Region enjoy the benefits.”

A spokesperson for Julien's Auctions said: "Last year we had 200 lots and The Edge was so impressed with the auction and the proceeds we raised he gave us a mandate to do bigger and better things this year.

Rock Legends' Stuff On Block This Weekend - Auction's Proceeds To Go To Group Helping Musicians Victimized By Hurricanes Katrina, Rita

(CBS) Personal items from some of music's legends go on the auction block this weekend -- to benefit less fortunate musicians. The event is being held by Julien's Auctions (Julien's Auctions : Hollywood & Entertainment Memorabilia | Beatles & Rock Memorabilia) on Saturday night at the Hard Rock Cafe in Manhattan's Times Square. Julien's Executive Director Martin Nolan brought some of the items that will be up for sale to The Early Show Thursday. This is the second year Julien's will put on the "Icon's of Music Auction," which will be hosted by U2's The Edge. Proceeds will benefit Music Rising (MusicRising.org home), a campaign co-founded by The Edge, producer Bob Ezrin, and Gibson Guitar Chairman and CEO Henry Juszkiewicz in 2005 to aid musicians of the Gulf Coast region regain their livelihood after the devastation of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Among the offerings will be The Edge's 1983 Gibson Natural Explorer Electric Guitar used on all U2 tours since the Joshua Tree album; The Edge's rings worn on the album cover of Atchung Baby; a set of four collarless suits worn by The Beatles; Kurt Cobain's early guitar; an MTV Award to Nirvana for "Smells Like Teen Spirit"; handwritten lyrics by Bruce Springsteen; Miles Davis' trumpet; a scarf Jimi Hendrix wore in concert; Bob Dylan handwritten lyrics; and a handwritten poem by Jim Morrison. Four-time Grammy Award winner Aaron Neville, who's joined Music Rising and helped shine a spotlight on some of the charity work being done in New Orleans today, will appear at Icons II and perform at the evening session. Neville, who, with his family, lost everything in Katrina, brings a unique personal experience to Music Rising. Highlights featured on The Early Show included: Bono Stage-Worn Bullet Leather Jacket From the 2005 Vertigo Tour - Black leather and cotton appliqué jacket designed by Sharon Blankson for Bono to wear onstage during the Vertigo tour in 2005-06. "The design of this jacket was inspired by a red jacket of recycled leather and military detailing found in LA. Worn by Bono with black trousers and T-shirt, creepers, colored glasses and a white headband. Bono usually changed into this jacket onstage for the 'Love and Peace' through to 'Bullet the Blue Sky' part of the show. All versions of this jacket differ slightly with varying appliqué, webbing and printed patches owing to the recycled nature of many of its component parts." -- Sharon Blankson, U2 Stylist (est. $6,000-$8,000) - Edge Stage-Played Gibson Explorer Guitar 1976 Limited Edition Reissue Gibson Explorer electric guitar, serial number 00230010. Mahogany body and neck, rosewood fingerboard, 500T and 496R ceramic humbucking pickups with gold hardware in a natural finish, with black leather Allan's Music guitar strap, an extra brown leather Levy's guitar strap and 10 packages of replacement strings. "This guitar has been in my collection for 22 years. I am always on the lookout for these limited edition Gibson Explorer guitars. They are not as rare as the original 1958 edition but still very hard to find. Dallas found this one in Cincinnati and it became of the backup instruments for my main 1976 reissue Explorer during the 1987 Joshua Tree world tour and many U2 tours since. The guitar has the sound that gives U2's early albums their unique timbre. Combined with a Memory Man Deluxe and a Vox AC30, most of the sounds of the Boy, October, and War albums are achievable. It's a classic design and in my mind one of Gibson's most innovative." -- The Edge "It comes with all original parts and the original case. It has a very fine neck, and is overall in very good condition, considering how well-traveled it is." -- Dallas Schoo, U2 Guitar Technician (est. $80,000 and up) - Edge-Worn U2 Rings Silver adjustable rings, one a "U" with a brick wall design behind it, the other a "2," both in bas relief on a square, stamped "STURE" and accompanied by a copy of the Achtung Baby CD. These silver U2 rings were designed by Joe Casely-Hayford and are one of two sets created for The Edge during the early 1990's. A pair is featured and worn by The Edge on the cover of the album Achtung Baby, which was photographed by Anton Corbijn. These were also worn by The Edge for various videos and photo sessions around that time. (est. $2,000-$4,000) - Beatles D.A. Millings suits from Madame Tussaud's Four D.A. Millings suits, each with a D.A. Millings tag noting which Beatle wore each suit. Gray wool and black velvet collar, with blue lining. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Madame Tussaud's. According to Christina Bennett, the Madame Tussaud's archivist at the time, she recalled that The Beatles had donated the items directly after having used them for pre-promotion of A Hard Day's Night. (est. $60,000-$80,000) - John Lennon Self-Portrait and Signature Bag with a self-portrait of John Lennon and Yoko Ono presented as a pair of bags.

The bell of the trumpet reads, "The Martin Committee Model / Elkhart / IND / USA" with ornate floral etchings. Keys are made from mother of pearl.

I'm really proud of you being accepted into Mensa. That's really an honor, congratulations." And ends, "Bye I love you - it looks like you'll be down here maybe by your birthday, isn't that about right? Wow, that would be nice. XXXXXX Janis." 11 by 8-1⁄2 inches (est. $1,000 -$2,000) - Elvis-Owned and Worn Hand-Embroidered Shirt - Cream-colored embroidered shirt worn by Elvis. No size or label present.
