Press Release

In an effort to raise money for Hurricane Katrina relief, friends of Peavey, Jack Daniel's and Hank Williams Jr. are invited to take part in a special online auction to win a Peavey Jack Daniel's guitar autographed by Bocephus himself!

Hank Williams Jr., a country music icon and the owner of such hits as "Born to Boogie," "A Country Boy Can Survive" and "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight," donated $125,000 from his October 14 concert in Choctaw, Mississippi to Hurricane Katrina relief. During the event he also signed a special black-and-white Peavey Jack Daniel's guitar as a way to raise even more money for the rebuilding efforts along the Gulf Coast.

We're putting this prized, playable piece of memorabilia up for auction on eBay, and we want everyone in on the action. The Peavey Jack Daniel's Hurricane Relief Benefit Auction will be open to U.S. residents aged 21 or older at www.peavey.com/relief beginning November 28, and all proceeds will go toward the American Red Cross's hurricane relief operations.

In addition, Peavey has pledged 10% of revenues from PV® Series musical instrument and microphone cable sales to the Red Cross for hurricane relief. This best-selling accessory line includes more than 40 products.

Peavey is based in Meridian, Miss., where Katrina wrought damage as a category-one hurricane.
