Program Overview

How we bridge music, care centers, and emotional wellness together.

How It Works

Once registered at musicisdope.com, musicians can view participating recovery facilities and schedule a visit, conduct a video session, or send a prerecorded video message. They will then work directly with the recovery facility to schedule their engagement.

Turning Performances Into Moments of Hope

We aim to bring touring musicians directly into recovery facilities to share their stories, perform, and inspire hope.

Every Background, Every Story & Every Note Matters

Musicians with all backgrounds are welcome to perform, and those with a history of recovery are encouraged to share their stories and inspire others. Musicians will be requested to participate in a minimum of 2 activities per year, ranging from personal visits to remote video sessions or even prerecorded video messages. Explore our list of facilities to find locations to connect with.

Where Coordination Creates Connection

Recovery Facilities will need to coordinate contact, communication and scheduling details with musicians and provide accommodations for visiting their facility, video sessions or prerecorded video messages. Event details will be registered on the Music is Dope Event page to track participation and give credit to the artists. Promoting awareness of interested musicians helps with publicity and continuing to connect with wider audiences!

Be the Voice That Brings Others In

We also welcome music venues and volunteers; your support with promoting awareness helps us connect with new musicians and facilities. Word of mouth and social media presence help us grow!
