Music Maker shines a
light on the voices of American music that have been shadowed by a veil of
poverty. Their experience, their stories and their art are what makes
our country unique, but too often these musical pioneers are forgotten by all
but their home communities. Your support of Music Maker ensures these musicians
receive the recognition they deserve. Please give
today.
The talent of these elderly
musicians might only have been heard by a few - but instead Music Maker
documents their music, preserving it for future generations.
These artists might have spent
their elder years living in dire poverty - but instead Music Maker
assists with basic life needs and in the event of emergencies that
don't stop you and me, but could prove catastrophic for them.
The opportunity for a thriving
musical career might have passed these artists by, but instead Music
Maker facilitates bookings and professional development, and audiences
worldwide experience their music live.
Through our programs, the
pioneers of our Southern Roots share their talent and their stories to
hundreds of thousands worldwide each year. These experiences educate
future generations about the importance of America's cultural heritage, and
elevate the artists and their communities.
Will you help us continue
this important work? Any gift you make before June 30th will be doubled
- if we reach our $80,000 goal. We are almost there, but we still need you.
If you have given, thank you -
will you consider being an advocate for Music Maker and telling
people about the great work we do?
Without you, we would not
be able to provide programs for artists. We would not be able to
educate the world about our Southern Roots. We would see the cultural treasures
living among us silenced forever by the passing of time.
