Austin's music scene welcomes a new addition with the formation of a band comprising local talents Shawn Pander, Johnny Goudie, Harmoni Kelley, John Chipman, Gabriel & Kimmie, and Louis Rhodes. This group aims to make a difference in their community through their musical endeavors.
The band is part of an initiative called HOME, established by women in Austin who are committed to offering financial housing assistance to aging musicians facing challenges. Their efforts reflect a growing concern for the well-being of artists who have contributed significantly to the cultural fabric of the city.
"HOME was formed by a group of concerned women in Austin," states the announcement. The organization focuses on supporting musicians who have aged out of traditional income streams but continue to need assistance.
This collaboration not only brings together seasoned musicians but also highlights the ongoing efforts within communities to support one another. The band members are set to perform as part of this initiative, bringing attention and resources to those they aim to help.
