Feeder Bands On The Run is a benefit project dedicated to helping New Orleans musicians affected by Hurricanes Katrina & Rita. Twenty of the city's talented singer/songwriters contributed new, original songs to the project.


"For those of us living in or near New Orleans or the Gulf Coast, Hurricane Katrina is the event that divides our lives forever into what came before and what comes after. We have learned that living in the aftermath is not about the event, but rather our response to it: and so amidst the tragedies of lives, homes and jobs lost or irretrievably altered, we find hope, faith, plans and good fellowship. Amidst tears, we see the iron-jawed resolution to rebuild.

Artists have responded as well--inevitably, since art draws its inspirational strands from the fabric of our lives and times. Some of the songs on this album were written in the wake of Katrina by artists who each in his or her own way lived it. Their songs are a comfort, even if some of them move us to tears. Tears, after all, are cathartic and healing; we've learned that, too. And some of the songs here are not directly about Katrina, but their inclusion as personal statements of each artist about his or her home is more than appropriate. They affirm that even in the aftermath, life goes on, artists still work, and nothing will stop the music"
