Great music needs more than great songs.
Building a professional live show requires musicians, rehearsals, transportation, sound, lighting, promotion, photography, video, and dedicated preparation.
The Rising Sun Music Community Artist Fund was created to help independent artists meet those needs, develop their craft, and share their work with larger audiences.
