I didn't know anything about this award so I looked it up....
"As MusiCares' flagship addiction recovery resource, the MAP Fund provides members of the music community access to treatment regardless of their financial situation.
To help raise funding for this life-changing program, a MusiCares MAP Fund benefit concert is held annually. Among the awards bestowed at the event is the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award, which recognizes a recording artist for their devotion to helping other addicts with the recovery process."

Got it in 92' around the same time PJ performed Jeremy on the MTV awards and Mike was using an SRV Strat. I wish I could ask him if he still has it. The Red Hot Chili Peppers performed Give it Away right after PJ and their guitarist at the time (Arik Marshall) was also playing an SRV strat! Mind blown.

23 years ago this week we released Mad Season's only studio album "Above." A lot has happened in the ensuing 23 years, including a lot of new and entirely different music from Mike McCready and myself. And that's why I'm really happy to be honoring Mike as he receives his MusiCares award on May 10th in Seattle. I'll be drumming and acting as music director, Duff McKagan will be on bass, and we have a whole slew of guest artists joining us including, Slash, Nancy Wilson, Mark Arm, Mike Ness, Chad Smith, and many more are confirming this week. There's certainly no shortage of songs to choose from - I wonder which ones we'll do! -Barrett

Hey Folks, tonight I'll be playing with my old bandmates Duff McKagan, Mike McCready, and many special guests as we perform at the MusiCares fundraiser here in Seattle. MusiCares is a great agency that helps musicians around the world with medical, dental, vision, health, and mental wellness. We feel strongly about these issues, which is why we support this cause with our music and our donations. If you'd like to support with us, and if you feel inspired by the musicians in your lives, please check out the MusiCares link below for the many different ways you can help. Love to everyone, Barrett
