Backline's 5th Birthday!

As Backline celebrates its 5th birthday, we reflect on the incredible journey we've taken to support the music industry through mental health and wellness. However, our work is far from over. The challenges faced by music professionals and their families are immense, and we are committed to being there for them every step of the way.

The statistics are alarming: 73% of independent music makers have experienced stress, anxiety, or depression due to their work, and the suicide rate among touring musicians is five times the national average. Nearly half of the industry lacks health insurance, and more than half earn less than the national average wage. These numbers underscore the urgent need for accessible, tailored mental health care.

At Backline, we are leading the charge to reshape the music industry by breaking the stigma around mental health. Through our customized mental health plans, community support groups, and wellness resources, we have already made a significant impact. But there is so much more we can do.

As we approach this milestone, we are launching a grassroots campaign to raise $50,000 toward our $1,000,000 year-end goal. Your support will help us continue to provide life-saving services to those who need them most. Together, we can create a safer, more supportive music industry for all.
