The Hendrix Music Academy  presents the 1st Inaugural Jimi Hendrix Memorial Benefit Concert for the community, at Jimi Hendrix Park in Seattle; on the 40th anniversary of the Rock legend’s passing: September 18, 2010, to raise money for at-risk youth music programs at the Hendrix Music Academy.

The Hendrix Music Academy provides music programs for the at-risk youth of South King County. The ultimate goal of the partnership is to reduce violence and crime in our communities, by providing music intervention programs for our youth.

Some exciting accomplishments of this dynamic program are: Dozens of teens, from South King County neighborhoods who are plagued with gang-violence, received music scholarships and intervention services throughout the entire school year, such as: guitar lessons, drum lessons, keyboard lessons, songwriting, music business, music production, pro-audio lessons, music performance, field trips, mentoring and much more. All without any costs to their families.

The mission of the Hendrix Music Academy is to give at-risk youth of King County the opportunity to learn how to express themselves musically.

National and local musicians will come out to pay tribute to Seattle’s very own Rock legend, and raise money for at-risk youth programs, by performing Jimi Hendrix classics and their own music, at the Jimi Hendrix Park on this very special anniversary. The Hendrix Music Academy students will also be debuted with their first live stage performances!
