The 6th annual #HealTheMusic Day is October 20 and music makers across all genres are invited to join Dave Matthews Band, Spotify, Keith Urban, Dan Aykroyd, The Alabama Shakes, Phish, Vince Gill, Lauren Daigle, the Grand Ole Opry, and more to raise awareness and funding in support of Music Health Alliance (MHA), the music industry’s resource for healthcare. Funded entirely through individual and corporate donations, grants, and fundraising, MHA has provided FREE healthcare advocacy and resources and mental health support to more than 20,000 working music professionals nationwide for more than 10 years.

Launched in 2017, #HealTheMusic Day is the brainchild of Grammy award-winning artist and songwriter, Rodney Crowell. Crowell is championing this year’s campaign to raise awareness and support for the emergent and ongoing medical, dental, and mental health care needs of the music community — 76% of whom are self-employed or part of a small business — many with limited resources, and often uninsured or underinsured for healthcare. In just six years, #HealTheMusic Day has raised over $1M to provide a lifeline for those struggling with health or mental health issues in the music industry.

To become a partner in healing, members of the music industry, businesses dependent on the music industry, and fans of the music industry — including artists, songwriters, producers, publishers, publicists, promoters, managers, record label executives, booking agents, attorneys, makeup artists, live music venues, stylists, hospitality venues, and more — can pledge a percentage of a single day’s earnings or event to support MHA’s critical life-saving resources and help fellow music makers in need.

Through personal healthcare advocates, MHA’s free services range from providing access to mental health care, doctors, specialists, diagnostic testing, hospitals, medicine, health insurance, senior care support (including Medicare), dental and vision resources, end of life care, and financial assistance during times of illness. For every $1 donated, MHA provides $30 in life-saving healthcare resources. Each dollar carries the potential to rewrite the script of the most vulnerable music makers.

“Calling everyone who makes a living in the music industry and those who are passionate fans! We’re at a critical juncture and reaching out to you for your invaluable support. In the past year, our requests for assistance have skyrocketed by a staggering 50%, encompassing vital needs such as mental health support, medical bill negotiations, emergent dental care, and end of life planning,” says Tatum Allsep, Founder & CEO of Music Health Alliance. “It’s a heartbreaking reality that many in the music industry are forced to make the agonizing decision between putting food on the table and accessing essential medical care. MHA refuses to let this continue, and your commitment to #HealTheMusic Day is KEY to ensuring that no one in our music community faces such dire choices. Please let the music play and donate to #HealTheMusic Day!”

Music Health Alliance fights so those in the music community never have to feel alone in a health crisis. Thanks to the direct efforts of MHA, clients have gained access to life-saving cancer treatments, transplants, medications to treat Parkinson’s, and more.

The fifth annual “Heal The Music Day” will be October 21, 2022 and music makers across all genres are invited to join Chris & Morgan Stapleton, Lauren Daigle, Keith Urban, Rodney Crowell, Ronnie Dunn, Tina Parol, Vince Gill, Wiatr & Associates, and many more to raise awareness and funding to support Music Health Alliance (MHA). In just nine years, MHA has provided free healthcare advocacy and access to life-saving health and financial resources to more than 18,000 working music professionals nationwide and is entirely funded through individual and corporate donations and grants.

Launched in 2017, Heal The Music Day is the brainchild of Grammy-winning musician Rodney Crowell who is championing this year’s campaign with MHA in an effort to raise awareness and support for the emergency and ongoing medical needs of our country’s creative community, 76% of whom are self- employed or part of a small business, many with limited and unpredictable resources, and often uninsured or under-insured for healthcare. To participate, members of the music community — including artists, songwriters, producers, publishers, publicists, promoters, business managers, record label executives, booking agents, attorneys, venues, stylists and more — can pledge a percentage of a single day earnings or event to support MHA’s life-saving services and help their fellow music makers who are in need.

“In the world of the working musician, good health is something most of us take for granted - that is, until something goes wrong,” says Crowell. “The healthcare advocates at MHA ensure that no music professional must face a healthcare crisis alone. It is crucial to support MHA’s work to heal the music and the best part is that music makers don’t have to do anything that they are not already doing. Pledges can be as simple as a percent of a concert, event, creative work, or single donation made for Heal The Music Day October 21.”

Through personal and compassionate healthcare advocates, Music Health Alliance’s free services range from access to doctors, specialists, diagnostic testing, hospitals, medicine, health insurance, Medicare and senior care, mental health support, dental and vision resources, end of life care, and financial assistance resources during times of illness. For every $1 donated, MHA can provide $30 in healthcare support and services.

“Heal The Music Day is not only our largest fundraiser, but also an opportunity for the music industry to step up and support their fellow musicians in need. The need for our services has increased more than 65% this year over last, with mental health support growing more than 300% over the past two years. Our goal is to raise more than $300,000 this year to meet the continued increase in critical need and ensure that nobody working in the music industry will ever have to walk a health crisis alone. Heal The Music Day is a great investment into the long-term health and wellness of the music industry as a whole,” says Tatum Allsep, MHA Founder and CEO.

Pledges made for Heal The Music Day will continue the impact of MHA’s services on our country’s working musicians since 2013.
