WSP Make It Right in NOLA

A personal note from Widespread Panic‘s John Bell:

Hi Folks,

As many of you may already know, Mr. Brad Pitt is spearheading the “Make It Right” (MIR) program – the rebuilding of New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward. The initial goal is to construct 150 Earth friendly, extremely flood safe homes for families that have remained, and are returning to the area. The Widespread Panic Family is lending our support by way of direct donations, as well as hoping to spark your awareness of this worthy cause. Through the LiveWidespreadPanic.com, the band is offering a downloadable studio version of our co-incidentally titled “Walk On the Flood” for a MIR donation of ten dollars.

Every person and place should be lucky enough to benefit from attention and assistance after a devastating event such as Hurricane Katrina. The rejuvenation of the Ninth Ward and surrounding neighborhoods is an important part of restoring and maintaining the Spirit of this wonderful, crazy city – as well as helping set the tone for how similar events may be handled in the future.

Widespread Panic is extremely honored to jump on this particular bandwagon; New Orleans has been more than special to the band over the years. She even gave us JoJo!

In the spirit of charity, we kindly ask that those who participate in this offer experience or share the song in such a way as not to diminish its fundraising potential. For a more comprehensive look at this project, you can visit makeitrightnola.org.

Thank you all.

Sincerely, John Bell

P.S. “You are Everybody.” -Driveshaft
