As a reminder on Veteran's Day today, Music Therapy was created as an official Board-Certified Medical Practice during WWI and WWII as a way to aid in the healing and recovery process for soldiers returning from war. Whether used as a way to treat PTSD, anxiety, depression, emotional issues, or for physical rehabilitation, music has been a vital therapeutic tool for many years. Music is unlike any other form of treatment because it naturally taps into and transforms the whole person. Unfortunately, the DOGE cuts to the VA cut music therapy funding, leading to the termination of therapists and cancellation of programs. This was a lifeline to many and has raised concerns about mental health outcomes and veteran su***de rates. Veterans deserve better. If you want to join us in helping support those in need, donate today. We owe so much to the individuals who sacrificed for our freedoms.

Veterans at Battle Creek VA are using music to help them navigate mental and physical challenges.

So excited for our very own movers and shakers Yesterday & Today and Rockville Blues Band making their debut at C-Boy's in Austin this Saturday at 10pm! They have supported MMMF for years and played many of our benefit shows - now it's time to support them! Three generations of old school South Austin crazy talent in one room - this one is not to miss! Cid Sanchez , Adam Johnson, Jack Montesinos, Nico Leophonte, Chris Cebrian and Hudson Tartack!

THIS SATURDAY, NOV. 1ST @ 1OPM C-Boy's Heart & Soul in Austin!
After many years going by the name The Beatle Boys - a name given to them for what originally was a one-off project for a Beatles tribute back in 2018 for the Music Moves Mountains Foundation - the band is now moving forward as 'Yesterday & Today' to reflect where they are now. They will debut at Austin's legendary C-Boy's Heart & Soul on Saturday, November 1st with a whole new set of 50s/60s roots rock n roll and a few originals. Think Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Carl Perkins, Larry Williams, Little Richard, The Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, The Who, and course, The Beatles! You don't want to miss this special night, shared with Rockville Blues and special guests, it's gonna be a party y'all! Mark your calendars!

BIG NEWS!!!! On this 79th birthday of Keith Moon , we are happy to announce that we will be paying tribute to the drumming legend next year to celebrate his 80th! As many of you know, the inspiration behind the Foundation is my son Hudson, who has been drumming since he was a year old. Despite all of Hudson's challenges in life, playing drums has been his saving grace. Discovering Keith Moon was like finding his spirit animal. Keith has been a huge influence and inspiration. When we first started the Foundation in 2012, Hudson was too young to play our tribute to The Who (for helping us launch with a campaign video set to "Join Together"). Fast forward to him turning 18, he won the Keith Moon drumming challenge hosted by Drum Talk TV and is more than ready to take on drumming duties for the tribute! We now have the blessing and support of Keith's daughter, Mandy Moon, who will be joining us, and we couldn't be more thrilled! The tribute will serve as our annual benefit concert in the Fall of 2026 in Austin, TX. Stay tuned here for announcements as details unfold. In the meantime, please reach out if you would like to become a sponsor, volunteer, or partner! Email us at info@musicmovesmountains.org Cheers! xo Julie

Another big shoutout to Tommy's Drum Shop for referring us for a donation of a full drum kit from a local shredder! It's amazing the progress a new drummer can make when given the tools. This is a huge step, and we couldn't do it without community!
