If you love this music, please buy the CD and/or help The Music Maker Relief Foundation, a grass roots non-profit founded to support aging musicians. The musicians they work with are rooted in the Southern traditions of blues, gospel, string band, and Native American music. They give money and other supports to the most vulnerable musicians, those 55 years and older with incomes under $18,000. The sad reality is that many of these musicians are scraping by on annual incomes of $7,000 to $10,000. Due to age, poverty, and educational constraints, these elderly artists need a strong support structure to perform their music beyond their home communities and to be documented for posterity. Please help preserve the musical traditions of the South, and ensure that fewer musicians will be silenced by poverty and time, by lending your support: donate, join the membership, volunteer, or become an intern.
