Our hearts are with everyone affected by the devastating flooding in Upshur and Lewis Counties, especially our friends and neighbors in Buckhannon, Weston, and the surrounding communities. We know many families, businesses, and musicians are facing tremendous challenges as they begin the difficult process of recovery.
Proceeds from the Lewisburg Winter Music Festival go to fund our non-profit work in the Southern Appalachia Musician's Association. Our Musician Assistance Fund exists to support musicians in times of crisis. If you are a working musician whose home, equipment, livelihood, or ability to perform has been impacted by these floods, or if you know someone who has, we encourage you to apply for assistance.
Please visit our assistance page to learn more and submit a request: https://www.lewisburgwintermusicfest.com/assistance
If you don't need assistance yourself, you can still help by sharing this post. The more people who see it, the better chance we have of reaching musicians who may not know these resources are available.
One of the greatest strengths of our music community is the way we show up for one another. Let's make sure every musician affected by these floods knows help is available.
