British Guitar Sensation SOPHIE LLOYD has shared details of a guitar auction to raise money for the LA based PASADENA HUMANE SOCIETY. Having just returned from the US after her first ever US solo performance at The Whisky A Go Go, SOPHIE has posted the following statement, detailing how one of her signature guitars used at the show – which retails at $3619 – will be auctioned off to raise money for the Animal and Wildlife Charity, which has been providing emergency animal response to the tragic fires which have devastated areas of LA.
“So I’m finally back home after a crazy few weeks in the USA for my debut US show at The Whisky-A-Go Go in LA! What an incredible night. I am so happy to announce we raised over $1000 for the Los Angeles Fire Department Fund from merch and ticket sales on the night
“I am also very honoured to be putting one of my Signature Kiesel guitars that I played on stage at The Whisky, personally signed by me, up for auction to raise money for the Pasadena Humane Society. PHS are a critical lifeline for pets impacted by the Los Angeles Fires. They are providing animals impacted by the fire with safe shelter and medical care as well as lifesaving assistance, including animal evacuation, care for injured animals, emergency boarding and resources such as food and supplies for animals who remain in the fire zone.”
On January 16th, Sophie performed her debut US show at the iconic Whisky A Go Go in LA, with a host of guests joining her on stage including Michael Starr, Lauren Babic, Cole Rolland, Izzy T and Danyell from Dead Posey.
