Few careers are as unstable as those in the arts, and given the current state of the recording industry, many once successful musicians are now facing financial hardships. Add to that the disastrous state of our heath care industry, and the result is a whole lot of professional musicians who not only can’t afford to pay their rent, but also can’t afford the treatments necessary to ward off illness and disease.
When singer-songwriter Victoria Williams faced these same hardships after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1993, a group of her friends recorded an album of all-star covers of her songs to raise money to alleviate her medical debt. Williams, knowing there were other musicians in similar situations, decided to use some of the proceeds to start the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. Since then, millions of dollars have been raised and dozens of artists in need have been helped through Sweet Relief.
LA Music Blog recently talked to Sweet Relief’s Executive Director, Rob Max, about the artists the fund is currently assisting, how he became involved with Sweet Relief, and what the organization has planned for the future.
