to helping the true pioneers and forgotten heroes of Southern musical traditions gain recognition and meet their day to day needs. Today, many such musicians are living in extreme poverty and need food, shelter, medical care, and other assistance. Music Maker's aid and service programs improve the quality of recipients' lives. Our work affirms to these artists that we value the gifts of music and inspiration they have delivered to the world. Our mission is to give back to the roots of American music.

Here is what people say about MUSIC MAKER Relief Foundation
ERIC CLAPTON: A fabulous project real evidence that the music I have always loved is alive and well. B.B. KING: I cannot encourage people enough to learn more about Music Maker Relief Foundation and to listen to the music that they document and promote. MORGAN FREEMAN: Music Makers is a perfect complement to the exciting and promising resurgence in Americas roots music. TAJ MAHAL: Music Makers clearly dispels the notion that real blues musicians are long gone. BONNIE RAITT: Its great to have this window on some under-appreciated bluesmen and women PETE TOWNSHEND: A labor of love and honor for the blues, and all its loudly unsung old-timers. ROSANNE CASH: Music Makers is an essential document of roots music in America. It is alive with the voices of these great musicians, and a pure pleasure to read and ponder. |
