Announcing the Bryan Sutton & IBMA Hurricane Helene Fundraiser

This week's episode is about a very special fundraiser I'm putting together.

I’m working with Bryan Sutton to raise funds to help people suffering the devastating effects of Hurricane Helene. Bryan is from Asheville, NC, one of the cities hit hardest by the hurricane, so this cause is very close to his heart.

We’re putting together a one off episode of Bluegrass Jam Along where you, the podcast's listeners, get to interview Bryan! Here's how it works...

When you donate, you get to send me a question to ask Bryan in the episode, then I'll put as many questions as I can to Bryan over the course of the interview. What do you want to ask him?

(Don’t worry, you don’t have to have a question, you can just donate too!). 

All proceeds will go to the IBMA Trust Fund to help those in need. All donations, big or small, are very welcome.

This is the link to donate (and ask your question). Please do share this with as many people as you can.
