Above Ground is a nonprofit organization founded in 2018 by renowned guitarists Dave Navarro and Billy Morrison, alongside manager Rick Canny. Dedicated to mental health advocacy and suicide prevention, the organization harnesses the power of music to inspire hope and support. Above Ground presents annual benefit concerts featuring star-studded lineups that celebrate iconic albums while raising vital funds for MusiCares, a charity supporting the health and welfare of the music community.

These immersive events combine live performances by legendary artists with art auctions, live graffiti, and mental health education to foster awareness and provide resources for those struggling. Driven by personal experiences with mental illness, the founders emphasize the importance of asking for help and the healing power of collective support, making Above Ground a beacon of hope and action within and beyond the music industry.
