Description

Music Maker Relief Foundation (created by Tim and Denise Duffy) is a non profit organization which helps the true pioneers and forgotten heroes of Southern musical traditions to gain recognition and to make a living with their art. Today, many of these blues musicians are living in extreme poverty and need food, shelter, medical care, and other assistance.

Tim says : “Poverty is not unique - The music and the culture they spawned in this country have given birth to a recording industry making billions of dollars - There is not a popular style of music unaffected by the blues.”

In the last 15 years, the Duffys have helped and recorded nearly 100 blues musicians. They did a great job and saved a part of the American musical culture and history.
