Our Mission: Helping Musicians Make ItNEWSLETTER CREDITSWritten by Timothy and Denise Duffy, Jessica Cannon, Aaron Greenhood, Cornelius Lewis, Berk OztürkDesign: Aaron Greenhood©2015 MMRF All Rights Reserved

Dear Friends,

Last August, Eddie Tigner, who toured with the Ink Spots for 35 years, turned 90! Ed-die has been a Music Maker partner artist for 21 years. He is a hard-working man that continues his weekly gig at Fat Matt’s Rib shack in Atlanta and has toured with Music Maker from Carolina to Australia and many places in between. Eddie’s an indepen-dent fella who isn’t used to asking for help. So, it wasn’t until Music Maker Program Manager, Aaron Greenhood, called him for our Artist Survey that Eddie’s situation became clear to us.

The Music Maker Artist Survey is con-ducted each year to discover both art-ists’ needs and the effectiveness of our programs. Questions range from access to fresh food and medical care to the quality and quantity of performance opportunities.

When we asked Eddie about how his house was holding up, there was a sig-nificant list of concerns: safety rail-ings for the bathroom, a wiring issue leaving several rooms without working light fixtures, undergirding in need of repair causing a roach problem, and bad pipes making the bathtub inoper-able.

Substandard housing has been one of the most prevalent conditions we have discovered in our Artists Surveys. Senior artists are trying to maintain their independence against mounting obstacles. Dealing with health issues while living on a limited income makes home ownership a taxing responsibil-ity for aging seniors. The average senior receiving Social Security Income gets just $433 each month – hardly enough to get by. Often they are forced to choose between feeding themselves, getting to the doc-tor, or making much needed home repairs.

Because most of our artists live on less than $10,000 a year, many are struggling with decisions like these on a regular basis. Once we become aware of their needs, we do everything we can to help.

We are now working with him to address his housing needs. This past winter we discovered another of our artists, Katrina refugee Pat “Mother Blues” Cohen, living without heat in her home in East Spencer, NC and we installed a new HVAC system so she could stay warm. We recently learned that New Orleans bluesman Guitar Light-nin’ Lee is living in an old family home needing structural and plumbing repairs. We are now working with Lee to stabilize his living situation.

Stories like these are why our Musician Sustenance Program is such a vital piece of our mission. Without their basic needs being met, our artists cannot focus on their passions and talents. Without food in your belly, it sure is hard to write a song. With-out gas to heat your home in the winter, how can you afford gas to get to a gig?

Your support allows Music Maker to partner with these great American traditional

musicians and work through complex issues on a case-by-case basis, making sure they can live comfortably and keep playing the music that we all love to hear.

In these pages, you will find out what our artists have been doing over the past year, and exciting updates about our other program areas. From exhibition tours, to album releases and a brand new Durham blues club – we are busier than ever! We hope that you will be just as excited to join us on our mission to keep American roots music alive. We cannot do it without you.

Thank you for loving American music and supporting these artists!

All The best, Tim and Denise Duffy

Our Living Past: A Platinum Portrait of Music Maker: For 35 years, photog-rapher Tim Duffy has forged a unique vision immortalizing Southern musical heroes and the world in which they live. This compelling collection of images was made with the wet-plate collodion process. These photographs were then taken to breathtaking heights with platinum/palladium printing. Original wet plates from this collection have been collected by: The Morris Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture, and the New Orleans Museum of Art.

We are the Music Makers!, curated with support from the National Endow-ment for the Arts, educates and engages viewers in the cultural history of Southern traditional music. Images and stories of musicians immerse visitors in the musical identity of the South, increasing appreciation and understand-ing of American music.
