Like so many of you, our hearts are heavy as the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles continue to impact the community, including the many musicians and music industry professionals that call LA home. As a magnet for the creative community, a playground for musical innovators, and a stage where so many have gotten their start, LA is as central to music-making as the music gear, voices, and hands that bring the songs we love to life.
If you’re looking for ways to help the music community in greater Los Angeles, please consider joining us in supporting MusiCares. Together with the Recording Academy, they’ve launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort To Support Music Professionals impacted by the crisis.
We’re donating to MusiCares because for more than three decades, they have been a committed partner to the music industry during times of need like this. In response to the fires in LA, they’re offering impacted music professionals financial assistance for evacuation costs (hotels, food, supplies) as well as support for medical issues, damaged music equipment, and longer-term relocation needs among the most impacted. According to MusiCares, 100% of online donations help those in need.
Our hearts go out to everyone in Los Angeles who has been impacted. If you need assistance, see how to get help from MusiCares. Impacted buyers and sellers can also visit our Help Center for guidance on temporarily pausing shop activity, exporting past purchase information for insurance, and more. Above all else, please stay safe and take care.
