Will you make Music Happen with us?
Q: What do you do when a rash of teen suicides infects your old high school?
A: Start a charity that supports music programs there.
Q: What do you do when that charity starts to work and needs money to operate?
A: Throw an annual Rock n’ Roll carnival in your backyard with great music, comedy, and art and then invite everyone you know to come and hang and donate money.
Q: What do you do when the kids you’re supporting graduate from high school and your programs are successful?
A: Set up college scholarships and expand as fast as you can. Start spreading the music from coast to coast and set up Musack programs wherever kids need them. So far that includes Los Angeles, Compton, El Salvador, Appalachia, Haiti, Alaska, Australia, Tampa, Oakland, Chattanooga, and Native American reservations across the Southwest US.
Q: So why are we sending all this information to you?
A: Well, every year for 11 years in LA, we've hosted a casual backyard fundraising mini-Coachella experience that is unlike any other event for the performers and the attendees - all for a great cause.
Our 2022 event featured The Specials, and we are coming together again for this tribute to Terry Hall that will benefit our programs. We want you to help! We want to magically turn your participation into cold hard cash that makes music happen for Musack kids while showcasing your brand.

Musack's Mission
Musack's mission is to give kids and teens a voice through music by providing guitars, drums, and support for music teachers - wherever the need arises. So many musicians credit their first guitar with saving their lives. We have the chance to provide that guitar. We MAKE MUSIC HAPPEN. We take our cue from Woody Guthrie,
This machine kills Fascists!
This machine…empowers.
This machine…inspires.
This machine…changes lives!
Musack's History
Writer/producer Donick Cary (Simpsons/Parks and Recreation/Silicon Valley) began Musack with a simple vision: raise money to fund musical programs for his hometown high school on Nantucket Island. After a rash of teen suicides on the island Donick thought about how he and his friends got through their teen years. Music. Enter Musack which in 2009 began providing Nantucket’s high schoolers with guitars and music lessons as a way to help them tell their stories. Taking our cue from the kids, we quickly expanded to include drums and other music and arts programs. Our programs then quickly spread to a variety of different locations worldwide.
Musack's Success
•1000+ students engaged in 400+ lessons annually
•Guitar, ukulele, drum, fiddle, banjo, and piano students; plus chorale and musical theater support and scholarships
•Programs supported worldwide -Nantucket, Compton, LA, Haiti, Appalachia, Australia, Alaska, Chattanooga, Tampa, Native American Southwest, New Bedford, MA, El Salvadorand Oakland... so far.
•10 (and counting) Musack scholarship recipients pursuing music-related degrees
Are You In?
We want to build a community of talented kids around the country that rock, rap, and jam (together or alone) their way to greatness. We want to empower these kids to share their stories via music. And we want you to be a part of it, starting with your contribution.
