JAZZ FOUNDATION OF AMERICA PRESENTS

#THENEWGIG

COVID-19 MUSICIANS’ EMERGENCY FUND CONCERT FUNDRAISER

“They really define the gig economy. These are the people who fall through the cracks when something like this goes down. We’re talking about people who virtually live from gig to gig.”

— Steve Jordan, Artistic Director of The Jazz Foundation.

In demanding times, musicians keep us grounded. They call up the strong, beautiful parts of our spirits. But without a single gig taking place during this crisis, there are no clubs to visit and no concerts to attend.

The pandemic has left thousands of vulnerable artists in a state of financial free fall. The need is unprecedented, but our mission is as urgent as it has ever been: to provide emergency assistance to these artists in times of crisis.
