Musician-Aid Requests, presented in collaboration with Resonant Motion, has been my humble attempt to encourage folks to offer support to artists financially burdened by by the COVID-19 pandemic. These videos fulfill the requests that I’ve promised to perform in exchange for folks helping out, whether donating money to funds/charities working to provide emergency services/funding to musicians, making direct contributions to or purchases (of music, merch, or online lessons) from those musicians in that amount, or offering them needed pro bono services.

Volumes 7-21 of this initiative were aided in part by the support of the Department of Economic and Community Development/Connecticut Office of the Arts as part of their Artists Respond grant program. Volumes 25-38 were aided in part by a CT Humanities CT Cultural Fund Operating Support Grant, with funding provided by the Connecticut State Department of Economic and Community Development/Connecticut Office of the Arts from the Connecticut State Legislature.
