“It’s about giving people an opportunity to bring their whole selves to the festival, free of shame and fear,” says Bill Taylor.
A general view of the atmosphere during the 2022 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage festival at Fair Grounds Race Course on April 29, 2022 in New Orleans, Louisiana.During my first visit to New Orleans for Jazz Fest many years ago, I experienced a profound moment that changed everything for me. The best way to describe it would be the sensation of deja-vu; like I had been here before, or more specifically that I had returned “home.” That day, the city spoke to me, and thankfully I heeded the call.
Addiction is a particularly serious issue in the music world. A 2020 study by Tulane’s Graduate School of Social Work paints a staggering picture: 56% of music industry professionals cite problematic substance use, and 80% met the cut-off for serious or moderate mental health concerns — both far above any national average., my good friend who helped me find the path to sobriety after I bottomed out with drugs and alcohol, had an idea about how to tackle this within the music industry.
Today, we’re blown away to see how this movement has progressed all the way to a New Orleans institution: JazzFest. This year, I’ll be there alongside The Phoenix and Stand Together Foundation at the, a sober-supportive wellness lounge where festival attendees can relax between sets, enjoy mocktail happy hours and meet up with people in recovery and others to catch performances together.
