In the modern guitar world, few names resonate as profoundly as Grammy-winning producer, engineer, virtuoso guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist Larry Mitchell. Renowned for his spellbinding techniques, soulful compositions, and eponymous signature sound, Mitchell has carved out a niche that defies genre boundaries, seamlessly blending rock, jazz, blues, and world music influences.

During his star-studded journey, Larry recorded and toured with icons such as Tracy Chapman, Ric Ocasek, Billy Squier, Miguel Bosé, and Nile Rodgers. He collaborates with Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, George Lynch, and Doug Doppler, among many others, produced award-winning records for a variety of artists, and released several solo albums since emerging on the scene in the late 1980s.

In the heart of Los Angeles, amidst the glitz and glamour that often defined Hollywood, a different kind of spotlight shone. It wasn't about blockbuster films or chart-topping hits; it was about celebrating something far more profound – excellence, empowerment, and the relentless pursuit of truth. The 10th Annual Truth Awards emerged on the horizon, an event transcending the ordinary to honor extraordinary individuals and their remarkable contributions to the LGBTQ+ community.

Spearheaded by Better Brothers Los Angeles (BBLA) and The DIVA Foundation under the guiding light of the incomparable Sheryl Lee Ralph, that year's Truth Awards promised nothing short of groundbreaking. With each passing year, the celebration of authenticity and achievement has grown in significance. The anticipation reached new heights as the Beverly Hilton Hotel prepared to open its doors on Saturday, March 30th. As the clock ticked closer to 5:30 pm, excitement brewed not just for a single evening but for an unprecedented trilogy of events, marking a historic first in the annals of the Truth Awards.
