When the Levee Breaks: A Benefit Concert for Katrina Survivors
The JMH Foundation sponsored a benefit recording event in Memphis on October 14, 2005, titled When the Levee Breaks: A Benefit Concert for Katrina Survivors. The concert, which featured notable musicians from the Memphis and north Mississippi area, was recorded and filmed with the intention of releasing a benefit CD/DVD for local non-profit organizations that will continuously assist in relief and rebuilding in the greater New Orleans area.
Featured on the recording are Jim Dickinson, Jimbo Mathus, the Bo-Keyes, Luther and Cody Dickinson, the Bluff City Backsliders, Jack Oblivion & the Tennessee Tearjerkers, Monsieur Jeffrey Evans, Tate Moore & Ken Hart, Amy & the Tramps, Paul Taylor, Duff Dorrough, Jimmy Crosthwait, Jim Dees of Thacker Mountain Radio, Bill Ellis, Johnny Vomit & the Dryheaves, Lynn Drury, Larry Frye & the Livewire Band, and Olga Wilhelmine.
Kevin Houston will donate mixing of the album and Larry Nix & Co. have generously donated the mastering. Live from Memphis graciously donated the filming and editing of the project.
All proceeds will be divided amongst different organizations, which include, the Louisiana Wildlife Federation, the Covenant House-New Orleans, the LA/SPCA, and the Tipitina's Foundation. With these proceeds, the JMH Foundation hopes to be able to continuously provide funds for the on-going relief and rebuilding efforts in the area.
When the Levee Breaks: A Benefit Concert for Katrina Survivors schedule release date is May 2006. The CD/DVD will be released through New Orleans based record label 219records and distributed through Redeye Distribution.
