Nashville Floods Our Musicians Lives

http://bit.ly/BAPOTH

In 2010 in the strong music community of Nashville, the Cumberland River flooded to record heights, ruining homes and destroying lives.

"It had been raining for two days and the river was getting higher... And then the garage blew up. I called 911. They told us to stay out of the water, but to cover ourselves with wet blankets. I didn't know if I was going to burn or drown.... We got 20 feet away and then the house blew up... There is nothing left."

"Everything was coated with mud. Everything was drenched. It was horrifying. You know you are not keeping any of it...MusiCares® was the first and the quickest to respond."

David Graef works for Rascal Flatts:

"...Soundcheck is like the kitchen table to the Nashville Music Community. I had 122 guitars in the locker and 22 survived.
Just hearing the phone saying "We're here to help... You have a store credit at guitar center. Go get what you need and get back to work." Many of us had no insurance and MusiCares® was there to help. You can't put a price on that."

To continue providing assistance to the Music Community, MusiCares® has launched our first ever public outreach and donation campaign.

We need your help to make it happen!
