Local Houston Musicians Fund

     This fund is helping local Houston Musicians, buy allowing loans and other benefits. Millions are out of work and the Texas music industry is at a halt with no end in sight to venue closures. Thankfully, some hope is on the way for thousands of out-of-work musicians.

     "In Houston, a husband and wife team, comprised of talent buyer Mark C. Austin and marketing and public relations professional Rachel Austin, launched the Houston Music Foundation, partnering with nonprofit organization Artists for Artists to provide direct relief to Houston-based musicians. Musicians facing financial hardship can apply for a one-time grant of $500 to pay for bills and living expenses."

     Their goal is to try to get money into the pockets so they can sustain themselves until the closures get lifted. I would not be surprised if many musicians don't make it out of this pandemic, financially.
