Contribute to the Mountainhome Music Archival Project
Since it started in 1994, MHM has produced over 200 concerts. Performers have included three National Folk-life Award winners, seven North Carolina Folk Heritage Award winners, and over 1000 local and regional performers. Thirty-seven shows have been broadcast on educational television in Watauga County and in Winston-Salem, fourteen on local AM radio (WATA), and twenty on WETS public radio (Johnson City TN).
In 2004, the Clabough Foundation helped to fund a high quality, digital sound and recording system for MHM. With this equipment, MHM has been able to provide high quality audio for the live audience as well as to digitally record twenty-seven concerts. MHM’s goal is to archive all recorded concerts on CDs, make the CDs available for sale to help MHM become self-sustaining, and to offer these recordings to public radio so a wider audience can enjoy these wonderful concerts. We estimate that $30,000 is needed to accomplish these goals. A local corporation has agreed to match funds raised in this membership campaign. For example, if MHM can raise $15,000, the corporation will donate $15,000 to reach the goal of $30,000 needed. We sincerely appreciate your generosity! Your contribution will help keep the music, storytelling, dance, etc. of yesteryear available for future generations.

Ticket sales & sponsorships don't
cover the cost of putting on the Mountainhome Music shows. Joe
coordinated these concerts for 9 years with no
compensation for himself. Since MHM became a non-profit agency in
2003, the board has had sufficient funds to pay Joe a small stipend for his
role as Executive Director and musician, as well as appropriately compensate
all musicians for their time & talent. Please contribute each year.
This year, there is an even greater need for donations to match the funds
committed to archiving the MHM concerts. Your name will appear on the
website for each year that you contribute to MHM (see
Members). Thank you!! Make your donation using PayPal. For a graphic of which credit cards PayPal accepts, see Tickets. |
