Road Angel Project

Inaugurated with Inara George’s “Sex In Cars” duet with Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, Road Angel Project is an ongoing series of releases benefiting the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, which provides financial assistance to all types of career musicians and music industry workers who have been impacted by Covid-19.

“I reached out to some of my musician friends to see if anyone had a track that they’d like to donate to the cause,” George says. “As the pandemic hit and it became very clear that live music would not resume for many, many months, I immediately thought of Sweet Relief, not only because they help so many musicians, but also because they help everyone in the music industry. All of those people who work at venues booking shows, stage managing, bartending, lighting, mixing sound, and on and on... Sweet Relief is set up to help all of these workers during this crisis and also any other crisis that might come.”

The name “Road Angel Project” is a Terry Allen-authorized nod back to the visual artist’s piece that inspired George’s song “Sex In Cars,” the first “Road Angel Project” release and the cover images for the series by Alice Lin are based on a Brian Fitzsimmons photograph of Allen’s actual installation.

To date, there have been seven Road Angel Project releases with more to come. The next release is 𝘙𝘰𝘢𝘥 𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴: 𝘋𝘦𝘷 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘟 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘪𝘳𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘦𝘦, scheduled for April 16 release.
