Belmont Arts Center hosts benefit for displaced musicians
The Belmont Arts Center will host a Hurricane Relief Benefit Nov. 12 -13 aimed at helping musicians displaced by the recent storms.
The two-day event will be held at the Belmont, 401 North Reus St., inside the Window f a c t o r y, d o w n town Pensacola. There is no cost to attend, but donations will be accepted in honor of the MusiCares Foundation. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and enjoy the mix of Swing, rhythm and blues, acoustic and reggae music.
Established in 1989 by The Recording Academy, MusiCares has been helping people across the country cope with personal, medical and financial hardships. MusiCares’ assistance is critical in ensuring that music people whose lives and livelihoods have been destroyed can begin to rebuild. To that end, MusiCares and The Recording Academy have established the MusiCares Hurricane Relief Fund, a $1 Million dollar commitment of charitable funds to be distributed to musicians and other music industry people directly affected by the recent disasters.
