Music for Mental Health is our way of throwing a lifeline in the form of a funky bassline. We bring live music, jam sessions, and interactive workshops into facilities that serve people with mental illness and disabilities—places that don’t usually get VIP access to creativity. Spoiler alert: they love it.

We’re not here to fix anyone. We’re here to vibe—to make folks feel seen, heard, and part of something joyful. Whether someone’s rocking out on a shaker, humming along to a Beatles tune, or just tapping their foot while pretending not to enjoy it, they’re part of the band. Everyone gets to be part of the magic: the quiet ones, the wild ones, the ones who haven’t smiled in a week, and the ones who won’t stop singing once we leave.

We’ve had participants go from total silence to belting out songs. We’ve had air guitar solos worthy of a Grammy. We’ve had people tell us, “I felt like a human again.” That’s why we do it. It’s not therapy, but it’s therapeutic. It’s not a concert, but it feels like one. It’s music that meets people where they’re at—no judgment, no pressure, just good sounds and real connection.

In short: Music for Mental Health brings the beat back to people who need it most. And yes, we take requests—unless it’s “Free Bird.”
