"Blues For Katrina" seeks to provide a forum for musicians, artists, agents and promoters to collaborate on efforts to stage benefit concerts and other fund-raising events to provide aid and relief to the unfortunate victims of Hurricane Katrina which struck the Gulf Coast of The United States on the 29th of August, 2005.

If you can contribute to the success of these events with any gift or talent that may help further the common good and heal our nation, please lend a hand. So many people will be so appreciative of your efforts.

While this web site is primarily for artists and musicians, all charities are welcome to contact us, add their links and post relief information on the forums.

"Blues For Katrina" in cooperation with Tipitina's has introduced T-Shirts and merchandise that you may purchase in support of the effort to find homes, provide instruments and obtain work for the many displaced musicians along the Gulf Coast. Additionally, "Blues For Katrina" provides a way for Blues Societies around the world to join in this effort by offering a professionally designed logo for those organizations created by graphic artists who have volunteered their talents.

"Blues For Katrina" is pleased to support the fine efforts of The Tipitina's Foundation in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Tipitina's Foundation has been instrumental in helping musicians better their lives and further their careers well before our nation was faced with the tragedy that Katrina wrought.

The Tipitina's Foundation raises awareness of public music education and provides material support for school music programs, offers internships designed to improve artist's skills in performing, recording, and producing and provides a fully-equipped work space for musicians and other digital media professionals who can’t afford, or don’t otherwise have access to computers and software that allow them to promote and pursue their careers with greater success and efficiency.
