5/29/2026

0 Comments

 
Picture
The inimitable, three-time Grammy Award winner and lead vocalist of Paramore Hayley Williams is back with a new Soundwaves collection to fundraise for Sweet Relief Musicians Fund!
 
The last Paramore x Soundwaves signed collection from 2023 sold out in record time, so we are thrilled to see this newest run of prints created from the sound waves of Hayley's 2025 single "Parachute" off her third solo album, Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.
 
Backstage just before her show at Moody Theater in Austin, TX on May 3, Hayley hand-signed 100 prints and four Originals. The artwork also features a handwritten lyric by Hayley that's been digitally added to every print, and Hayley even hand-wrote additional song lyrics alongside her signature on each Original piece.

Prints are expected to sell out fast, but they're auctioning off 1 of 3 signed Proof Prints until June 7th!

AUCTION INCLUDES SIGNED GUITARS FROM JOAN BAEZ, THE EAGLES, LUKE BRYAN, JOYCE MANOR, AND MORE

Soundwaves prints from Goose, Black Sabbath, & The Doors Add To Rock N Relief partnership with Fandiem to benefit Sweet Relief Musicians Fund
Picture
New York, NY (May 13, 2026) -  In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Sweet Relief Musicians Fund is raising funds for its Mental Health Fund through a powerful series of artist-driven initiatives, including auctions with Soundwaves Art Foundation and the May “Songs for Sweet Relief” Auction. Featuring rare memorabilia, handwritten lyrics, signed instruments, and one-of-a-kind collectibles from acclaimed artists including Black Sabbath, Phantogram, Korn, The Doors, Joan Baez, Brandi Carlile, Luke Bryan, Chappell Roan and many more. The campaign will raise critical funds to provide mental health services and financial assistance to music industry professionals in need.

The addition of Soundwaves and ‘Songs for Sweet Relief’ follows the recently announced partnership with digital fundraising platform Fandiem to launch Rock N’ Relief, an ongoing series dedicated to supporting musicians and industry professionals in need. The initiative kicks off with a first wave of fan-driven, flyaway fundraising campaigns tied to upcoming performances by rock legends, offering once-in-a-lifetime experiences with AC/DC, Rush, and Iron Maiden.

On the Mental Health initiatives, Aric Steinberg, Executive Director of Sweet Relief adds, “We’ve seen a huge increase in applications for Mental Health care assistance and we’re excited to launch this campaign with the support of our artist partners.  We pay providers directly for the care they provide to our clients, and If an applicant needs help finding a therapist we can help via Music’s Mental Health Fund, our partnership with our friends at Backline.  Campaigns like this are critical and allow us to serve more people as the need for mental health care continues to grow.”
Picture
Founded by Sweet Relief Musicians Fund just before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Sweet Relief Mental Health Fund was created to address the growing need for accessible mental health care within the music community. As the pandemic placed unprecedented emotional and financial strain on musicians and music industry professionals, the fund became an essential resource, helping individuals access counseling, therapy, and other mental health services during an especially difficult time. Sweet Relief also partnered with Backline to create Music’s Mental Health Fund, which helps applicants connect with therapists and mental health providers in their local area. After an initial launch period impacted by the global shutdown, the program returned in full force in 2022, expanding its reach and reaffirming Sweet Relief’s ongoing commitment to supporting the mental wellness of those who dedicate their lives to music.

Sweet Relief Musicians Fund provides services and financial assistance for career musicians and music industry professionals. Grants are earmarked for medical and vital living expenses, including insurance premiums, prescriptions, medical treatment and operative procedures, housing costs, food costs, utilities, and other basic necessities.
