If you enjoy the video, join me in supporting the artists, crew and support systems that make up our live music community!

This video was the result of generous musicians pooling their resources to make something together. A donation to Backline tells these folks how much you appreciate them!

This organization exists in part because of a conversation that you guys fueled about how to support the music community's mental health and well being. Since its launch last year, Backline has been doing amazing work and is an even more critical resource during the Covid-19 crisis.

Backline connects music industry professionals with mental health and wellness resources--streamlining access to a network of trusted organizations and care providers that understand this line of work. Their resource website and case management system program make it as easy as possible to get assistance to the music community.

In response to these unprecedented times of self-isolation, financial insecurity, and industry fallout, Backline has launched the “Come Together: Crisis Initiative”, which includes bi-weekly support groups, yoga, meditation, breathwork sessions, and more. All of these sessions are available for free, and welcome anyone in the music industry to join.

Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for Backline and thanking all the amazing musicians who volunteered!
