The longer that the coronavirus pandemic goes on, the more imperative it becomes to find solutions to help keep creators afloat. For musicians, not being able to tour and play shows has created a huge vacuum in terms of financial income, notability, and in many cases mental health. That’s why it’s been so amazing to see organizations and individuals step up to the plate with relief efforts to try to fill that vacuum until things can get back to normal. 

Mission: Music is stepping up in that way on the local level with the goal of saving music during this strange time. Launched on May 7th by a team of hardworking folks from Union Sound, Dust Collectors, and Flagg Street Studios, the initiative seeks to raise money to benefit local musicians. 

To kick things off, on May 22nd, Mission: Music is posting a playlist of all-new songs performed by a roster full of Boston musicians. The playlist – titled Unbeatable – is available via Spotify and Apple Music. One hundred percent of the royalties collected from the project will be donated to The Record Co.’s Boston Music Maker COVID-19 Relief Fund. 

The playlist looks like an All-Star team of Boston artists, with contributions from Cliff Notez, Forté, Rah Zen, Red Shaydez, Rilla Force, Brandie Blaze, Latrell James, Luke Bar$, 7L, and so many more. You can stream the playlist via Spotify and Apple Music.
