New Scholarship Fund Honors NYC Music Legend's Spirit of Connection

In memory of Billy Jones, a music venue owner and NYC fixture who inspired countless through his warmth and generosity, six industry leaders have launched the Billy Jones Forever Foundation. The new scholarship fund will provide financial support to emerging music professionals struggling with relocation, housing, equipment, and travel costs. With its inaugural cohort set to be announced soon, this initiative promises to carry on Billy's legacy as a mentor, connector, and champion of the NYC music scene.
