Help Musicians Aid Hurricane Helene Recovery

The news cycles have moved on but the ongoing misery and recovery in areas affected by Hurricane Helene will continue for a long time to come. A group of musicians and music venues have been collaborating on holding fundraising concerts in Central Oregon to help support the relief effort. But we wanted a way to broaden the support base and hopefully raise even more money. So if you don't live in Sisters or Bend Oregon and can't attend one of the concerts, here is a way you can donate too!

Darin Gentry, Austin Quattlebaum and myself (Suzanne Adkins) are all roots-based musicians who live in Central Oregon. However, both Austin and Darin have strong ties to Western North Carolina. Darin is from Brevard, but lived many years in Boone and Asheville. Austin also lived for years in Asheville. Suzanne's extended family in New Orleans was heavily impacted but hurricane Katrina in 2005. All of us are passionate about wanting to help relief efforts after Helene. Its been difficult to watch from the sidelines, so we've banded together for a concentrated effort to help.

We've specifically selected BeLoved Asheville because we've heard from residents in the area that they seem to be doing the most on the ground.

100% of funds raised will go directly to BeLoved Asheville from GoFundMe. NONE of the money raised goes anywhere else!

Thank you for your support!
