Investing in Life, Love and Local Music
The Heart Journey Local Music Foundation believes in the power of local music to inspire, to heal and preserve our unique culture here in Texas.
In a changing music industry, local artists face steep costs to bring their music to life, tour and get noticed.
We award a financial scholarship to one Texas artist/group/duo to cover expenses from recording to promotion: everything our local musicians need to kick-start their careers.
Heart Journey Local Music Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your donations go to artists, never to administrative costs or salaries.
