LIVE music for the My New Orleans series is supported by a grant from the New Orleans Musicians' Clinic, co-founded in 1998 by the clinic's director, Bethany Bultman and her husband, Johann Bultman. Generous funding is provided to the New Orleans Music Clinic by Jazz Aspen (www.wwoz.org/clinic). The music clinic offers health services to New Orleans musicians as well as assistance in finding paying gigs. One of the goals of the My New Orleans series is to provide additional gigs for New Orleans musicians struggling to remain in New Orleans now.
