Music Rising has replaced the instruments of more than 2,000 displaced musicians...The number of musicians affected by the hurricanes is estimated to be as high as 7,000 - August 23, 2006 - As part of its overall relief efforts, MusiCares is also a lead partner of "Music Rising," an initiative designed to raise funds to replace instruments lost by the musicians of the Gulf Coast. Since its launch in November 2005, Music Rising has replaced the instruments of more than 2,000 displaced musicians located in more than 34 states from California to New York. Clients have purchased a gamut of instruments from amps, alto saxophones, and conga and djembe drums to guitars, piccolos, trombones and violins with Music Rising funds. The pool of applicants has remained steady since the tragedy struck, and each week new clients emerge who need assistance. The number of musicians affected by the hurricanes is estimated to be as high as 7,000; this initiative aims to put musical instruments back in the hands of people who lost everything in the disaster to help them regain their livelihoods. MusiCares was joined by Gibson Guitar, the Guitar Center Music Foundation, U2's The Edge and producer Bob Ezrin in this campaign.
