Jackson Browne felt like "hanging around" the Gibson Acoustic lacquer room during his recent visit to Bozeman, Montana for the 2nd Annual HatcH Festival in which Gibson Guitar was a sponsor. Instead of taking the typical tour Browne decided to hang with the best and see how it felt to be amongst the world's premiere instruments...literally.

Browne surprised Chris Webster, this year's winner of the Gibson New Musician Award at the 2nd Annual HatcH Festival in Bozeman, Montana on stage at the Ellen Theater, when he presented her with an exclusive Gibson Traveling Songwriter acoustic guitar as the award.
