(STANHOPE, NJ) -- The North Jersey Blues Society (NJBS) is excited to announce the Artist Emergency Relief Fundraiser. NJBS has established an Artist Emergency Relief Fund (AERF) to assist artists in need. This fund is specifically designed to support NJBS artists who find themselves in crisis situations. Currently, the fund's balance is $1,400, generated through the sale of an NJBS compilation CD. Their goal is to double this amount during a fundraiser on June 8, 2025 at The Stanhope House.
This noteworthy event will feature performances by three distinguished bands: Big Frank/Mike Smith, the Bob Lanza Blues Band, and the Mechanic Street Blues Project. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a raffle for an autographed guitar. All proceeds from donations will be allocated directly to the fund. The North Jersey Blues Society encourages participation in this significant initiative to contribute positively to the blues community.
