What We Do
Music Maker tends the roots of American music by supporting senior traditional musicians and educating the public.
Our Story
From our beginnings in 1994, Music Maker has not only documented and preserved America’s traditional musicians but also formed long-term partnerships with them to raise their standards of living and levels of expertise.
Our Team
To uphold our mission, it really does take a village. Meet the people who make Music Maker work.
Our Board & Partners
Without the support of our outstanding board of directors and board of advisers — as well as countless supporters — Music Maker could not carry out its mission.
