Hardly Strictly Bluegrass ​​continues to support the music community during the Covid-19 pandemic with a new philanthropic effort aimed at immediate relief needs and more equitable recovery.  Today, the world-renowned roots music festival reveals plans for a total of one million dollars in new grants shared between Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, East Bay Permanent Real Estate Cooperative’s Esther’s Orbit Room Cultural Revival Project and the Tenderloin Museum’s “Sounds of the Tenderloin” project.
 
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, HSB has prioritized supporting the local and national music community in this time of unprecedented need. Over the past two years, grants have totaled $4.1 million, including $550,000 raised from more than 3,000 generous donors during the broadcast of last year’s joyful, quarantine-produced film “Let The Music Play On”.
 
"It's clear that COVID-19, and the current spread of the Delta variant, continue to deeply affect our music communities, and that new support is needed,” says Frances Hellman, one of the directors of the Hellman Foundation, which funds and oversees Hardly Strictly Bluegrass as part of the legacy of founder Warren Hellman. “We hope that these grants will not only provide some economic relief to the artists and workers who make live music possible, but also help to lift up some of the most highly-impacted neighborhoods as we begin to recover from this historically challenging period.”
