Four-time Grammy Award winner Aimee Mann, Flor De Toloache, Emily Wolfe, Daisy O’Dell and Graciela will perform at the fifth annual Women Who Rock, Presented by Gibson concert in support of Magee-Womens Research Institute on May 22 at The Novo in Los Angeles.
The female-founded Women Who Rock helps educate, support and fund women-centric health research at Magee-Womens Research Institute, the largest research institute dedicated solely to life-saving women's health research in the United States, through staging benefit concerts with female-fronted lineups, selling apparel and accessories, and hosting national campaigns, fundraisers and pop-up events.
Women Who Rock has partnered with Gibson Gives for the May 22 benefit concert. Gibson Brands is known globally for making guitars and music-related gear with a product portfolio that includes the names Gibson, Epiphone, Kramer, MESA/Boogie, KRK and Maestro.

It has raised more than $3.5 million in the last three years and all donations to and from Gibson Gives go towards giving the gift of music.
