Financial Relief For Singers

I have some important info on financial relief for singers to pass along to you today.

If you have suffered the loss of income because of cancelled gigs, I want you to know there ARE resources for you. Many organizations have sprung up to help musicians during this time.

I have listed a sampling of them below.

Sending lots of love and “hustle muscle” during this time.

Remember, this WILL end. You already KNOW how to be resourceful (as all free-lance musicians do), so now you’re getting to flex this muscle in new ways and unexpected ways.

I’m here for you if you need support!
