Our Mission: Helping Musicians Make ItMUSIC MAKER BOARD OF DIRECTORSTimothy Duffy, PresidentRih Henneberry, TreasurerCatherine Elkins, SecretaryDenise DuffyBill PuckettHenry SlykerRick TellerMichael GoodmonSaramel EvansTom WallackJon C. PorterDom Flemons

When the Music Maker Relief Foundation was established 24 years ago, it was founded to offer a new model of engagement for working with blues and folk musicians. It is from our unique position at the crossroads of the arts and humanitarian enterprise that Music Maker derives its ability to empower and sustain blues and folk musicians. We are committed to provid-ing our partner artists with the professional development crucial to building their careers and showcasing their music to new generations, and we offer emergency relief and sustenance grants to partner artists in their times of need.

Our organization’s mission is to sustain traditional music by tan-gibly supporting the artists. Our method of achieving this goal is by partnering with artists to empower their careers through booking performances, recording albums, and promoting these tangible ends in our public communications and outreach. Over the past 4 years, our artists bookings have in-creased 250%. Not only does this empower our partner artists’ ca-reers, putting more earned income in their pockets, but their live per-formances keep the blues and folk traditions alive and strong. In the past year alone, our performances reached hundreds of thousands of people across the U.S. and Europe.

As Music Maker continues to grow, you may ask yourself why the artists still need help and why your support is still needed. While our community of partner artists chase their dreams, many still live below the poverty line. Longstanding institutional barriers prevent many elderly people, specifically people of color, from accessing the

resources needed to maximize their quality of life. If you’re not a profession-al, trained to understand and analyze local, state, and federal institutions, navigating national and local resources can be convoluted and overwhelm-ing.

Over our 24 years of work, we’ve seen just how forcefully a natural disaster can devastate a musician’s life. Whether by hurricane, tornado, or flood, something that is totally beyond an artists’ control can appear out of thin air and destroy their home, car, musical gear, and ultimately, their whole liveli-hood. In the face of systemic poverty and natural disaster, we have doubled down on our mission to empower artists and musicians. In May of 2018 we brought social worker Brittany Anderson onto our team to bring an expert eye and trained hand to our Musician Sustenance program. Her education and professional background were put to use right away delivering critical aid to our partner artists.

When Music Maker partner artist and drummer Chuck Cotton’s home in Greensboro, NC was destroyed by trees uprooted by a 135mph EF-2 tornado, Brittany jumped into action organizing emergency relief funds for Chuck. With her vast experience as a social worker, she was able to streamline the

process of connecting Chuck with other organizations to further assist him through these trying times. Brittany has also been instrumental in bringing healthy and accessible food options to partner artists living in food deserts, areas in which it is difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food.

We at Music Maker understand that the success of our mission and method depends on engaging in long-term relationships with musicians which are founded in mutual respect and reciprocity. Despite long-standing changes to the landscape of the music industry, Music Maker’s commitment to empower-ing and sustaining musicians is unwavering. Blues, folk, and other traditional music is integral to supporting our nation’s social fabric. Our shared cultural heritage bind us together. Through Music Maker’s performances and edu-cational outreach, these traditions are being shared with new and younger audiences, ensuring that the music will play on. As Music Maker approaches its 25th anniversary, our organization has entered into a new stage of its life, a maturity that comes with experience, expertise, and expansion. This growth has taken our organization to new breadths and new depths. In the begin-ning, we were joining an existing community of artists, but today, we have cultivated a community of our own. We are eternally grateful to all of the art-ists, supporters, and friends who have made this journey possible.

Natural disasters have a dispro-portionate impact on our artists who live on fixed or very low incomes. This year, Hurricane Harvey caused damage to Larry Shores home, unusually heavy snowmelt flooded Dave McGrew’s house with a foot of water and Chuck Cotton (left) lost his home to a rare tornado. Music Maker has helped with grants and linking artists with additional resources. 2018 © A. Greenhood

Following their first international performance, The Glorifying Vines returned home to a media blitz!
