On September 18, a musical collaboration called the Preservation Hall All-Stars will perform at the Varsity Theater, Baton Rouge, with curation from Aaron Scruggs and performances by affected musicians. The benefit coincides with a day of service, clean-up, and rebuilding in Baton Rouge, and those who volunteer that day will receive a free ticket to the event. All funds received will be disbursed to professional musicians; initial assistance will provide funds for income-generating gear, studio space, and instruments, while funds remaining will be disbursed to local music-education programs.
To donate, apply for the fund, or volunteer, visit preshallfoundation.org/selamusiciansrelieffund.
