It's certainly a tragic time for storm victims but one thing we can do as musicians is donate our time and even our talents to these communities. Whether you reside in Alabama (where So Fo Real is based) or you reside in Alaska, you can make a impact.... and here's how.
Make a song dedicated to the storm vicitims. Music is therapy for a lot of people and having a song dedicated to the recovery and rebuilding of a devasted community can be comforting and inspiring. Gospel music has the same affect.
Sell your song but donate the proceeds. You can donate to the Red Cross and help the less fortunate while doing what you love to do.. create music. You can donate to hard hit areas of Alabama by visiting the website http://american.redcross.org/site/PageServer?pagename=COGP_AL_CentrlAlbm_main or you can donate in general by texting "Red Cross" to 90999 (will charge $10 on your next cell phone bill).
Plan a benefit concert. You can meet with your local venue or even talk to promoters in the hit areas to plan a music concert just for the benefit of the community. Entertainment is one of the best ways to cope with such a tragedy and those affected need our help as much as possible.
You can always just donate in general or volunteer your time, but as a musician you'll give and receive a lot of joy by donating your talent. Let's pray for the speedy recovery and rebuilding of our people.
Happy Recording,
