The Guitar Center Company

September is National Recovery Month, a time to increase awareness around the prevention, treatment, and recovery of mental health and substance use challenges.     At the Guitar Center Company, we believe in fostering a compassionate and understanding workplace. We are here for Associates who need support, including those who are helping a loved one, co-worker, or friend that is struggling; and we provide free access to online therapy and psychiatry.  #LifeAtGCC #RecoveryMonth 

This Labor Day, we recognize and appreciate every one of our Associates. Your passion, creativity, and dedication are an inspiration. Thank you for your continued hard work in supporting our customers.    #LifeAtGCC #musicandarts #avdg #gcpro #musiciansfriend

AVDG - GC Pro recently collaborated with Jack White on a fundraiser show to benefit the American Legion Post 82 in Nashville, TN which helps Veterans re-engage in their communities placing music’s healing power at the center of the effort. This charity event left an indelible mark not only on the audience but across our entire organization.    As Gregory Glaser shared...    “Bridging the gap between a vendor, GC Pro, and AVDG to make this possible was an amazing experience. We were able to create a turnkey system to make sure Veterans in our community have a place to gather and experience great live music. I believe the event was a success because the Nashville community was inspired to support a worthy cause.”    #LifeAtGCC #AVDG #GC Pro

Today, we pause to recognize Women’s Equality Day and pay tribute to the women activists who rocked the boat and changed the world forever by helping to pass the Nineteenth Amendment giving women the right to vote.  At the Guitar Center Company, we want to acknowledge the women who changed the soundtrack of equality and celebrate the powerful voices of female musicians who have not only enriched our lives with their art, but also paved the way for women's equality. From the soulful melodies of Billie Holiday to the rebellious rock of Joan Jett, these women broke barriers, challenged norms, and inspired generations. Let’s honor and learn from these trailblazers. Here's to the women who used their talents to break down walls and build a future where all voices are heard equally. #LifeAtGCC
