Lurrie Bell Record

Donation protected
My name is Amberly Stokes. I work for Chicago Blues artist Lurrie Bell. Because of Lurrie's disabilities, Lurrie faces financial challenges. Lurrie had been severely exploited for many years before I became involved. His housing was unsafe, and his health unstable. No one helped him with his finances. His taxes had not been filed in ten years. The royalties Lurrie receives are minuscule, but even these have been garnished due to tax liens. While Lurrie has faced many struggles in his life, he continues to flourish creatively. Team Lurrie is asking for your help with his upcoming release.

Lurrie recorded "She's a Burglar" in Hollywood at Killion Sound Studios featuring ORGŌNE with special guests Steve Ferrone and Benny Turner, and with cover art by Tony Fitzpatrick. This innovative musical exploration pays homage to one of Lurrie's Blues heroes, Freddie King while showcasing a never-before-seen side of Lurrie's creative genius. Although "She's A Burglar" has already been recorded, mixed, and mastered, we need help funding the masters, licensing, production and promotions.

While Lurrie has dealt with homelessness and unstable housing in the past, we are happy to share that Lurrie's living situation and medical needs are now stable. He is physically and mentally ready, willing, and able to move ahead with new music and new opportunities. Please consider making a donation so we can share Lurrie's work with the world and help ensure his future. Thank you!
