StrummerJam Boise is part of StrummerJam – Rocking Locally, Acting Globally, a monthlong fundraising campaign in honor and memory of Joe Strummer to mobilize musicians, venues, promoters and music fans around the world to unite under a single banner and raise funds for local music nonprofit. StrummerJam runs Aug. 1- 31 (Joe’s birthday month). See all StrummerJam events on a global map HERE.
The objective of StrummerJam is, as Steve Mullen campaign coordinator and digital media manager for the Joe Strummer Foundation says, “…about keeping the spirit and memory of Joe Strummer alive and to mobilize the troops to unite under a single banner and raise funds for their local music nonprofits. We wanted to unite local music scenes, connect the dots, put venues, bands and local music nonprofits on the map for all to discover and explore.”
All funds collected for each event will be reported by the organizers and added to the StrummerJam Funds Barometer on the StrummerJam website to demonstrate the total results of the collective efforts of all the organizers. The global target has been set at £15,000 GBP.
