Smooth jazz guitarist and vocalist George Benson has donated an autographed guitar to support Culture Machine, a youth program that teaches music production and media literacy to inner city kids in New York and New Jersey.

The guitar is being auctioned in conjunction with Culture Machine’s inaugural Awards & Celebrity Auction at the Grill Room, located inside the World Financial Center in Manhattan. The event is today from 7 to 10 p.m. EST. For more information, go to eBay.

The winning bidder will get two tickets to attend Benson’s Bergen PAC concert in Englewood, NJ,  on April 10, 2010, and meet with him after the show. Benson will then give the winning bidder an autographed Ibanez AS73 semi-hollow jazz guitar.

Benson’s latest CD, Songs and Stories, features the Smooth Jazz Top 20 hit single “Living in High Definition.”
