Music Rising

Hurricane Katrina didn't merely scar the landscape, it uprooted lives and destroyed livelihoods. Affected were thousands of musicians whose instruments were destroyed in the storm. Music Rising follows the efforts of prominent musicians — including U2's The Edge and Gibson Guitar's Henry Juszkiewicz — dedicated to helping their New Orleans colleagues by replacing their instruments and returning to them the means to earn a living. Included are many first-hand accounts of the storm and concert appearances by Arlo Guthrie and Willie Nelson.
