“Twenty-eight days ago I was in the darkest place anyone could ever imagine. You gave me a chance to find the thing I so desperately needed to find and that was hope!” – MusiCares client

“My wife and I are so deeply grateful for the grant you gave us to help with the medical expenses incurred since my diagnosis with leukemia. One of the many gifts that has come out of my illness has been that I found MusiCares. You are providing an incredible service and support when artists need it the most. Everyone I spoke with at MusiCares was very loving and understanding. I want to pay it forward; please accept my donation to help another struggling artist.” – MusiCares client

Emergency Financial AssistanceThe MusiCares Emergency

Financial Assistance Program

provides funds for basic living and

medical expenses to music people in

crisis. In addition to direct financial

aid, MusiCares routinely negotiates

clients’ medical bills and often

reduces them by as much as 50

percent, thereby lessening financial

and emotional burdens on clients.

This fiscal year, MusiCares has

provided hope and relief for

approximately 1,000 music people

through our financial assistance

and addiction recovery services.

This includes nearly 700 financial

assistance clients and 241 addiction

recovery clients.

The statistics comparing dollars

disbursed for the same period

tell a similar story. During fiscal

year 2007, MusiCares’ totals

again reflected an increase in

assistance distributed for emergency

financial assistance and addiction

recovery services. Totals included $1,527,194 for financial

assistance, $881,061 for addiction

recovery, in addition to $369,398

for hurricane relief, resulting in a

distribution total of $2,777,653.

The program is open to individuals

who are able to document at least five

years of employment in the music

industry and/or credited contribu-

tion to six commercially released

recordings or videos, and those who

can demonstrate proof of need. In

addition to financial assistance,

MusiCares provides hundreds of

referrals to other cooperative organi-

zations and agencies. MusiCares’

Health and Human Services staff

collaborates regularly with entertain-

ment assistance organizations

throughout the country in order to

more thoroughly meet the emergency

financial needs of our clients.

Partnering and referral organizations

include the Actors’ Fund of America,

the Jazz Foundation of America, the

Musicians’ Foundation, the Rhythm

& Blues Foundation, the Society of

Singers, Sweet Relief, and many others.

MusiCares covered living expenses for several months for the client above. This assistance allowed him to focus on recovering rather than how he would pay his rent and electricity bills. As an independent contractor, his income stopped abruptly after his accident, and he wasn’t sure how he was going to pay any of his bills. His employer moved on and hired another engineer to finish the current projects. This client had no idea what he was going to do until a friend told him about MusiCares’ services. After several months of rehabilitation and physical therapy, he is now working again and doing what he loves to do. He is also a wonderful advocate and referral source for MusiCares.

Tracy is an upright bass player living in the South, who was in a serious car accident. Lucky for her, she was wearing her seatbelt and was not seriously injured. Not so lucky was her beloved $4,000 upright bass which was destroyed in the crash, leaving her without an instrument or a way to make a living; and, her car insurance did not cover damage to the contents of the car. She applied to MusiCares for assistance and received partial support, along with a referral to a partner organization for a grant that combined to replace her lost instrument.

We are on target for another

landmark year at MusiCares in

fiscal 2008. If the current trend

continues, we will again serve a

record number of clients and

distribute a record number of

grant funds through our programs.

MusiCares continuously evaluates

clients’ needs for relevant health and

wellness information and services.

In the past five years, this has led to

the development of workshops on

topics such as hepatitis C and vocal

health, as well as the cultivation

of relationships with medical and

dental clinics willing to provide

services for free or on a sliding-

scale basis. At industry health fairs

– typically hosted in partnership

with large music conferences across

the country – MusiCares provides

information to promote well-being

and brings together health care

providers to offer onsite services

such as flu shots, hearing tests and

medical screenings.

“I don’t know what I would have done without the help from MusiCares. It has literally saved my life. My employer of five years dropped my name from his rolodex after my accident. However, friends I have made over the years as a recording engineer came forward in ways I never expected, especially, everyone at MusiCares. I am honored to be a member of the music community, and I can think of no other profession that would have acted with the kind of compassion and generosity that you did. Once again, I say thank you!”

– MusiCares client

Emergency Financial Assistance

MusiCares realizes that it is

rare for anyone to not be touched

in some way by addiction. Some

may not struggle themselves, but

they may have a family member

who suffers from the disease, a

close friend, a colleague, an artist

they manage, or perhaps even an

employee. Acknowledging this fact,

MusiCares has taken a much more

proactive approach to marketing

and providing services to music

industry individuals interested in

addiction recovery services.

The MusiCares MAP FundSM has

become a leading force in the effort

to address the problems of addiction

in the music industry. This pool

of resources provides members

of the music community access to

addiction recovery treatment and

sober living resources. Numerous

MusiCares MAP FundSM

“This client had grown up around the music industry. Her father was a songwriter and her mother was an instrumentalist. She loved music and singing from a very young age. One day she had surgery that caused a tremendous amount of pain. She was prescribed pain medications and soon found that she was taking more than the prescribed dose. Her use increased to the point where she was trying to get pills from friends and family and going from doctor to doctor for more prescriptions. Her family had confronted her several times without success. They then reached out to MusiCares and we were able to connect them with an interventionist and a treatment facility. The client has been clean and sober for more than a year now and states that without our help, she would not be alive today.”

Addiction recovery specialist—

high-quality addiction treatment

facilities across the country, skilled

in dealing with addicted music

professionals, help MusiCares assist

clients nationwide.

For members of the music industry,

MusiCares provides addiction

recovery resources that include

detoxification, rehabilitation, sober

living, psychiatric evaluation and

other services necessary to support

recovery efforts. We continuously

evaluate and develop relationships

with local treatment providers in

order to ensure that our clients are

benefiting from the best available

treatment. With an increased focus

on addiction in society, MusiCares

is experiencing an increased demand

for its recovery resources and is

continuing to provide access to its

programs for music people regardless

of their financial situation.

Web Site ExpansionThe disease of addiction is one

of secrets, shame and hiding. In

order to connect with those seeking

confidential help or information

about addiction issues, MusiCares

has substantially expanded our Web

information about addiction and

recovery. A feature entitled “In

Their Own Words” provides video

clips of prominent members of the

music industry speaking honestly

about addiction and recovery.

The new Web site information

also features a “Warning Signs Of

Addiction” section, which provides

a checklist of common addictive

behaviors and symptoms. Two

other sections, “Addiction Recovery

Programs” and “Addiction Recovery

Resources,” discuss other aspects of

MusiCares’ outreach and list useful

recovery resources. The launch

of these new efforts occurred in

September 2007 in conjunction

with National Addiction Recovery

Month.

Addiction Recovery ResourcesSafe Harbor RoomsMusiCares also provides addiction

recovery support through its

MusiCares Safe Harbor Room®.

MusiCares established its first Safe

Harbor Room backstage at the 39th

Annual GRAMMY® Awards telecast

to provide a support system to artists

and crew members facing addiction

issues. Staffed by qualified chemical

dependency and intervention

specialists, MusiCares Safe Harbor

Rooms offer a support network

to those in recovery while they are

participating in the production of

televised music shows and other major

music industry events.

Aftercare Group Jam SessionsA new component to our group

services is an upcoming initiative

in partnership with Gibson in

Austin, Texas. Gibson Foundation

has generously hosted our groups

at its facility since the group began

approximately two years ago. One

group session per month is dedicated

to an informal jam session for group

members and their friends. One

of the many fears that music people

express after they get sober is the

concern about how they will perform

or work as a musician while they are

clean, as opposed to performing and

being creative while in an altered state.

This new opportunity will provide a

safe place for musicians to “test the

waters” and build the confidence

they need to perform in front of

an audience again. MusiCares has

made a commitment to explore this

new concept for three months to

determine its overall effectiveness and

gauge the response from participating

group members.

musicares.com

Addiction Recovery ResourcesAftercare GroupsOne of MusiCares MAP Fund’s

vital components has been the

ongoing availability of our support

groups and aftercare services.

Research has shown that group

support is an essential element to

successful recovery and MusiCares

acknowledges that need. MusiCares

offers one group per week in New

York, Nashville and Austin, Texas.

Three groups per week are offered

at our Hollywood, Calif., office.

Groups are facilitated by qualified

addiction recovery specialists who

provide a safe environment in which

clients can address recovery issues.

The groups are 60-90 minutes in

length, free of charge and current

MAP Fund clients, alumni, and

other music industry professionals

can take advantage of this important

supportive service.

One group session per month is dedicated to an informal jam session for group members and their friends.

Research has shown that group support is an essential element to successful recovery and MusiCares acknowledges that need.

Substance Abuse PanelsIn the past year MusiCares presented

a series of panels on addiction and

the music industry. The panels were

held at music industry conferences

throughout the country, including

South by Southwest, the Southeast

Conference on Alcohol & Drug

Addiction (SECAD), and

Foundations, Inc.

The South by Southwest conference

panel was titled “Doing Service...

Giving Back.” The focus was on

addiction and recovery with a

particular emphasis on service work

and the 12-step notion of giving back

to those who are still suffering from

the disease.

MusiCares moderated a panel at the

SECAD conference that was intended

for clinicians working in the field

of chemical dependency. The panel

addressed the occupational hazards

music people face, particularly with

addiction-related issues.

A similar panel was held this year

at the annual Foundations, Inc.,

conference. The presentation

was titled “Treating The Addicted

Musician,” and it focused on

providing insight to addiction

recovery professionals who treat

members of the music industry.

In October 2006, MusiCares

presented its third legal panel on

substance abuse at the Annual

Conference of the American Bar

Association’s Entertainment and

Sports Industry Forum. “Substance

Abuse Prevention… What To Do

When A Colleague Or Family

Member Is In Trouble?” featured a

noted attorney discussing the loss of

his son last year to substance abuse.

The panel discussed what families

can do to prevent and/or help a

family member who has problems

with drugs and alcohol.

“It is so nice to know that there is an organization like this out there for artists when we need it. Because of MusiCares I have a roof over my head this month, which has given me the opportunity to get a job and focus on getting back on track. Thank you so much; your help has been most appreciated.” – MusiCares client

MusiCares also offers a range of

nationwide educational workshops

that cover a variety of subjects

including financial, legal and

addiction recovery issues.

Medical and Dental Clinics

MusiCares’ broad goal is to address the

health and human service needs of the

music community. One of the main

issues that music people bring to our

attention on a regular basis is the need

for more affordable and accessible

health care. In an effort to address this

specific need, MusiCares is working

with several entities to expand the

health care availability for our clients

and the music industry as a whole.

The first official effort is a partnership

with the Venice Family Clinic in Los

Angeles. MusiCares and the Actors

Fund of America, in partnership with

the Venice Family Clinic, are offering

a performing arts health clinic one

or two days a month. This clinic is

open to any performing artist whose

income falls within 200 percent of

the federal poverty guidelines and

who does not currently have health

insurance. Comprehensive primary

MusiCares Congressional BriefingMusiCares became actively involved

in The Recording Academy’s political

advocacy activities in conjunction with

Recording Arts Day on Capitol Hill

this past year. In early September,

MusiCares representatives met with

select members of Congress to discuss

political and legislative issues affecting

music people. Issues discussed included

access to affordable health insurance,

and discrepancies in insurance coverage

for addiction and mental health

disorders versus other diseases.

health care, mental health services,

health education, child development,

prescriptions and lab services are

offered free of charge. The clinic and

MusiCares also help assist eligible

applicants with public insurance

enrollment. In the New York and

Nashville communities, MusiCares is

exploring methods of offering similar

low cost services to music people.

MusiCares has also identified an

ongoing need for low cost dental

services and is piloting mobile dental

clinics in Los Angeles and New York, as

well as working toward partnerships in

several other cities. Above: Rep. Jim Ramstad (R–Minn.), left, and Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy (D–R.I.) discuss the insurance parity legislation they are presenting before Congress at the MusiCares Congressional Briefing. The bill seeks to secure equality of insurance coverage for mental healthtreatment, which includes treatment for addiction and recovery.

Community Outreach

Health FairsUsually structured around an

existing conference or other large

music industry events, MusiCares’

Health Fairs provide basic

screenings such as blood pressure

testing, stroke risk assessments,

dietary consultations, cardiac risk

review, bone density screenings,

diabetes and cholesterol testing,

HIV and hepatitis C testing, hearing

tests, and other basic services.

Through these services we are able

to give attendees important baseline

information about their health risks

and direct their attention to self-care,

which is often overlooked by our

clientele.

Hepatitis C TestingHepatitis C is the most serious form

of hepatitis and given that the disease

is often symptom free for years,

many infected with the virus don’t

know they have it. MusiCares has

found that an increasing number

of clients are seeking our services

Community Outreach

“I wanted to take an opportunity to go ‘on the record’ to thank and commend MusiCares, whose intervention, concern and professionalism helped one of my clients who was facing eviction [within seven days], and now who has the comfort of knowing he will have a roof over his head. In this case, the situation was dire because [unbeknownst to your staff member] my client was considering suicide due to his financial distress. The staff at MusiCares should know that they are doing an incredible job assisting those in need at some of the most crucial times in their lives. Again, thank you.” — MusiCares partner

for issues surrounding hepatitis C.

In an effort to inform and educate

people about the disease, it needs

to be detected so we can help stop

the infection from spreading and

begin appropriate treatment. For

the first time this year, MusiCares

partnered with the Caring

Ambassadors Hepatitis C Program

to provide testing to musicians at

the Waterfront Blues Festival. Over

the course of the four-day event,

approximately 200 musicians

were tested with 7 percent testing

positive.

Those who tested positive were

given referral information for

medical care, treatment options

and counseling services. They

also were encouraged to reach

out to MusiCares for assistance

and information. The testing is

conducted through a bar code

system so clients could be reassured

that their insurance companies

would not be informed and their

confidentiality would be protected.

“Making a Living While Making Music”As the music industry has

changed, many musicians are

finding it difficult to find work.

Opportunities for live performances

have decreased, and musicians

often find themselves at a loss for

how to use their experience, talent

and creativity in a way that affords

them an income. The presentation

“Making A Living While Making

Music,” presented in conjunction

with the Actors’ Work Program

of the Actors’ Fund of America,

provides a panel of established

music professionals who have

managed to successfully transfer

their experience as performing

musicians, songwriters, vocalists,

producers and other related

professions into money-making

opportunities. In addition to being

informative and entertaining,

this panel encourages attendees to

envision their skills, experiences

and careers in more creative and

lucrative ways.

“Taking Care of Business: Mind, Body and Soul”For the second consecutive year,

MusiCares has participated in a

health and wellness panel at the

International Association for

Jazz Education (IAJE). The 2007

panel identified holistic tips and

techniques that music professionals

can incorporate in order to ensure

good health and maintain peak

performance and career longevity.

Workshops and Seminars

The presentation…provides a panel of established music professionals who have managed to successfully transfer their experience as performing musicians, songwriters, vocalists, producers and other related professions into money-making opportunities.

Financial Wellness SeminarsFor a professional in the music

business, managing money often

presents many challenges. The

subject of earning money, saving

money, and investing money is

often avoided and can be seen as a

distraction from the creativity needed

to make music. In most cases, the

issue at hand is a lack of knowledge.

For that reason, MusiCares continues

to provide Financial Wellness

Seminars in order to help music

industry professionals maximize their

earnings, minimize their tax debt,

and make wise choices with money-

related matters. These country-

wide seminars are among the most

popular and most well-attended,

especially as they are scheduled prior

to April 15. Topics covered include

budgeting, saving and investing;

cleaning up credit problems, tax

and estate planning; and saving for

temporary setbacks.
