Established in March by The Recording Academy and its and its affiliated charitable foundation, MusiCares, the COVID-19 Relief Fund was created to help minimise the burden that the music community is feeling amid the global COVID-19 pandemic. From venue owners and musicians to guitar techs and sound engineers, those working in nearly every wing of the industry have felt a major impact from the coronavirus – which has forced an unprecedented amount of cancellations, closures and layoffs.

In a statement released earlier this month the Chair and Interim CEO of the Recording Academy, Harvey Mason Jr said, “It’s in times like these that many of us turn to music. Music can help us cope, and has the power to bring us together during a time when many of us might feel isolated. We encourage people everywhere to embrace the music industry which needs our help in these uncertain times.”
