When Keith Richards was honored by Governor Lamont last month at the Westport Library, he didn’t play a lick.
But the Rolling Stones/Rock & Roll Hall of Fame guitarist/longtime Weston resident signed a bunch of items.
After this weekend, they can be yours.
Among the items up for sale at the Library’s very cool auction, running in conjunction with the 4-day VersoFest that kicked off last night:
- A signature Keith Richards guitar, signed by Richards. (Starting bid: $12,500)
- 2 signed first edition first-printing copies of “Life,” Richards’ best-selling memoir
- A professionally framed print by famed Westport photographer Michael Friedman of Richards and the Rolling Stones in concert at Madison Square Garden, signed by both Friedman and Richards
- An original art portrait of Richards, painted by VersoFest 2025 featured artist 5ivefingaz, signed by both Richards and 5ivefingaz.
Keith’s guitar.
Non-Keith Richards auction items include travel opportunities like trips to the American Music Awards Show, Disney World, New Orleans and more.
Richards’ items will be on display throughout VersoFest. Proceeds benefit the festival.
The auction has already begun. It closes at 11:59 p.m. Sunday (April 6). Click here to see all items — and bid.
