MUSICARES, Grammys, others offering help to music industry workers affected by L.A. Wildfires

(Not affected? Please Donate)

MusiCares, the philanthropic arm of the Recording Academy, has launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort to support music professionals affected by the recent wildfires in the Los Angeles area. They have pledged an initial $1 million, which has been distributed to provide immediate assistance to those in need.

The organization offers short-term disaster relief, including grants of up to $1,500, to help with essentials such as food, shelter, and medical expenses. Music industry workers who have experienced significant personal losses, including damage to homes or essential equipment, are encouraged to apply for assistance.

If you or someone you know in the music industry has been impacted by the wildfires, MusiCares is available to provide support. You can apply for assistance through their website. musicares.org

In addition to MusiCares’ efforts, the Recording Academy has announced that the 67th annual Grammy Awards will proceed as scheduled on February 2, 2025, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. This year’s ceremony will focus on raising additional funds for wildfire relief and honoring the bravery of first responders.

The music community has also rallied to support those affected by organizing benefit concerts. For instance, the “I Love LA” concert, scheduled for February 8 at Glendale Presbyterian Church, will feature artists such as Andrew Bird, Bright Eyes, and Kevin Morby, with proceeds going to the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund.
