REFILL Benefit Concert To Be Live-Streamed In Support Of Seattle Artist Relief Fund

Heading into 2020 seemed like a redemption year for most, a brand new year to conquer. Little did we all know, we were moving into a year of revelations, awakening, and change. COVID-19 crept up into our lives causing everybody’s daily routine to crumble before their eyes. For some, it completely destroyed their entire livelihood.

On March 9th, three local Black artists, Ijeoma Oluo, Gabriel Teodros, and Ebony Arunga, recognized the disproportionate financial impact that the pandemic was having on the Seattle arts community and they launched the Seattle Artist Relief Fund (SARF). Now, artists and community members are coming together to produce REFILL, a live-streamed benefit concert with the goal of raising $25,000 for SARF.

Since the start, SARF has raised over $620,000. By partnering with Langston Seattle, a 501(c)(3) non-profit arts organization, they have already sent those donations directly to creatives in need by mail, Paypal, or Zelle. Their goal is to be able to help every artist in need, but especially those who have been historically and systemically economically disadvantaged in the Seattle area: BIPOC, transgender, non-binary, and disabled artists.

Join the community on Sunday, July 19th, at 4 pm (PST) for the REFILL benefit concert. KEXP has teamed up to live stream the event from its YouTube channel and will utilize the YouTube Giving feature to allow the audience to donate to SARF directly from the stream. Eva Walker of KEXP’s Audioasis will be hosting the event. Donations are already being accepted, so if you have the resources and would like to support the Seattle arts community, you can click here to donate to REFILL the Seattle Artists Relief Fund.

Taylor Hart

Taylor Hart is a passionate hip-hop head born and raised in the Seattle area. She attended her first concert while still in her mother’s womb and hasn’t stopped going since. Her parents lulled her to sleep to the sounds of Warren G and raised her on a diet of Ludacris' "Chicken and Beer." Nowadays you can usually find her smoking blunts by the water or digging through a crate of 99 cent vinyl.

This week's segment of Fresh Drops Friday brings you a new enticing music mix.
