The Blues Foundation demonstrated the strength of its commitment to its mission and the blues community and matched words with action to quickly convert The Blues Foundation’s COVID-19 Blues Musician Emergency Relief Fund to The Blues Foundation’s Blues Musician Emergency Relief Fund to help full-time blues musicians impacted by non-health-related crisis. The Blues Musician Emergency Relief Fund provides much-needed financial assistance to full-time blues musicians who find themselves unable to work due to an emergency.

The Blues Musician Emergency Relief Fund provides immediate relief for essential needs such as rent/mortgage, utilities, phone & internet. Through generous donations from supporters of The Blues Foundation, the relief fund hopes to enable blues musicians to focus on their immediate needs.

The relief fund is a small way to give back to the artists that give us so much.
