“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.

year in 2007. This fundraising tool
raised record high revenues of more
than $500,000. Both the GRAMMY
Charity Online Auctions and the
live and silent auctions featured at

significant sources of support. An
enhanced eBay presence and the
credibility of GRAMMY Charity
Online Auctions helped earn a
special donation of a Mercedes-Benz
s600 sedan from the Rolling Stones
for use in a MusiCares/Rolling Stones
co-branded auction which raised an
additional $120,350.
