Music Industry Coalition Launches MusicCovidRelief Resource Site
A broad coalition of music industry trade groups, major booking agencies, PROs and others have joined to launch a website with guidance and resource materials for those in need in the arts and entertainment community.
Participating organizations include ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, the Artist Rights Alliance (ARA), American Association of Independent Music (A2IM), the Music Artists Coalition (MAC), National Music Publishers’ Association (NMPA), Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI), the Recording Academy, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the Songwriters of North America (SONA), major booking agencies UTA, CAA, WME and more.
The website will help people make real-world sense of the bill and showcase solutions and opportunities for those in need, along with downloadable forms and other resources.
In a joint statement, the organizations said:
“The music community is extremely grateful for the benefits available to them through the CARES Act. The aid will be most valuable if people can access it in time to meet their needs. This coalition pooled its resources to compile information to assist members of our community, understand who is eligible, and how they access relief. We will continue to update the site as more information becomes available.”
