Featured Venture: Dear New Orleans

In late August, 2005, nature dealt a striking blow against the city of New Orleans in the form of a storm called Hurricane Katrina.  Debate over whether the chaos that ensued was the result of a freak/unique natural disaster or the failure of systems designed to protect the population from just such occurrences still rages on.  No matter where people come out on that question, one thing is clear: one of America's urban jewels was--and in some ways, still is-- devastated by the storm.

New Orleans is a music town, and in the years since Katrina, musicians have rallied around their brothers and sisters, musician and non-musician alike, to help with the recovery.  Air Traffic Control Education Fund, a national non-profit, has collaborated with the Future of Music Coalition to facilitate directed assistance to the people of New Orleans by musicians in the years since Katrina.

Their efforts have culminated in this project, Dear New Orleans - A Benefit Album, that was released last week.  Learn more about what artists have been doing to help in New Orleans by checking it out.  And get a great record while you're at it.  The work isn't done, but after five years, it helps to slow down and enjoy the music that helps tie New Orleans to the rest of America and the world.
