Preservation Hall Jazz Band to Raise Money for Hurricane Sandy Victims

Proceeds of t-shirt sales will go to artists and musicians

By Jeff Tamarkin

Preservation Hall Jazz Band has partnered with Ropeadope, Okayplayer, the Jazz Foundation of America and the NYC Food Truck Association to form Renew York, with a collective goal of aiding those affected by Hurricane Sandy.

The PHJB will sell t-shirts in order to raise money for artists and musicians that were affected. Shirts will be sold online and at select outlets, with 40% of the gross sale going directly to organizations providing relief for those affected by the storm.

Following Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Ropeadope and Okayplayer launched Renew Orleans, which raised over $80,000 for local musicians.
