HGMN staffers join board for NC Musicians Medical Asscociation

Home Grown Music Network's own Lee Crumpton and Chris Robie have joined the advisory board for The North Carolina Musician's Medical Association. (NCMMA) is a 501(c)(3) organization being established to provide medical assistance to musicians in times of emergency. The NCMMA is also working to help support artists find affordable health care coverage. Time and again we see musicians who are devastated by serious injury or life-threatening illnesses. The NC music community once again demonstrated their terrific track record of pulling together to support those so deeply in need.

Numerous campaigns are being planned to raise funds for the NCMMA medical emergencies fund. The first campaign is the new Raleigh Music Industry Asscociation member rewards program. The rewards program will allow RMIA members discounts to special events, retail purchases, entertainment opportunities and dining throughout The Triangle. Members will have the opportunity to also receive concert tickets offered to the association by bands and promoters from across the country. Membership dues for this program are only $20 per year. RMIA has pledged to donate 50% of all its membership dues (personal/business/artist & band) to support the NCMMA medical emergency fund for North Carolina Musicians.

Moses Guest is a southern-sounding “new classic rock” band that has just enough Pop, Jazz, Funk, and Country in its veins to appeal to any audience.  Moses Guest has self-produced six CDs, one EP, and one DVD, on its own record label, Aufheben Records; all works are distributed by Home Grown Music Network.

After a five-year hiatus from touring, Moses Guest is back in the saddle with the perennial line-up:  Graham Guest - Lead Guitar/Lead Vocals; Rick Thompson – Keyboards/Backing Vocals; James Edwards - Drums/Backing Vocals, Jeremy Horton – Bass.  The band has new material and plans to release new recordings in 2013 as well.

Started in 1995, Moses Guest (named after founder Graham Guest's fifth generation grandfather), has received many awards.  To name a few: "Best Rock/Pop Band" - Houston Press Music Awards 2001; “Best Improvisational Band” – Houston Press Music Awards 2005; and in 2010, Moses Guest was inducted into the Home Grown Music Network Hall of Fame, an honor shared by only a handful of other bands.

Moses Guest has toured from coast to coast and has shared the stage with many great acts in the past few years, including Moe, Steve Miller Band, JGB Band, Willie Nelson, Los Lobos, Leftover Salmon, String Cheese Incident, Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise, David Nelson Band, Rebirth Brass Band, The Jayhawks, Lisa Loeb (acoustic), and Colonel Bruce Hampton (on H.O.R.D.E. 1998 in Antioch, TN).
