Music helps us through hard times. Isn't it time we helped musicians through theirs?
Sweet Relief Musicians Fund helps those at the heart of the music industry: musicians. We provide financial assistance for recording artists, club and session musicians, composers, vocalists and songwriters across the country who are facing illness, disability, or age-related problems, are in dire financial need, and have nowhere else to turn.
Sweet Relief helps musicians pay for hospital and doctors' bills, prescriptions, co-pays, deductibles and treatment. Certain non-traditional remedies are also supported, as we believe in healing our grant recipients to the fullest extent possible. In many cases this involves paying for other necessities, such as rent, utilities, and food.
Established in 1994, Sweet Relief has helped preserve our most profound art by becoming music's most compassionate and generous charity. Chances are, we have touched the life of someone you know.
For more information and to find out how YOU can help, or be helped, go to our website at www.sweetrelief.org.

My pleasure. There are so many great things to be said about the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, but I have to say that the Sweet Relief II Album is simply brilliant.
Just dropping by to say Hi and see what you’re up to and how you are doing.
As always, wishing you well. Stay positive, productive & purpose driven.
Peace
Michael
After some months of not feeling 100% healthy, I recently had some medical tests run and the prognosis is that I am suffering from Multiple Sclerosis. Apparently, it has been affecting me for quite some time.
Although this is obviously unfortunate news, I am choosing to see the positive in it. I, and X as a band, have supported the Sweet Relief charity since the mid-1990's; the irony of this is not lost on any of us. Sweet Relief was started as an aide to uninsured artists by musician Victoria Williams when she herself was diagnosed with MS in 1992.
While this diagnosis will most certainly mean some changes for me, personally, it will not affect my commitments to the current X U.S. tour, nor will it affect my solo album that is slated for release this fall on Bloodshot Records.
My focus will certainly be on maintaining my health--many people remain strong and continue to live their lives as productively as they had before an MS diagnosis and I plan to be one of those people.
