SANTA MONICA, CALIF. (SEPT. 11, 2017) — MusiCares® was established by the Recording Academy™ to safeguard the health and welfare of all music people. We are dedicated to being there throughout the year and when disaster strikes members of our music community. As part of our efforts, MusiCares created a fund to support music people affected by the recent devastation of Hurricane Harvey, and we are expanding our resources to include victims of Hurricane Irma. MusiCares is offering assistance for a wide range of needs, including basic living expenses; medical expenses; clothing, instrument, and recording equipment replacement; relocation costs; home repairs; and more. Our previous relief efforts include assistance for victims of the Gulf Coast hurricanes, the Nashville floods, and Hurricane Sandy; and MusiCares is privileged once again to provide critical support to our music family.
