Festival helps musicians face industry’s mental health toll

Season 2025 Episode 262 | 9m 20s

The music industry, for all the glamour and excitement, can be grueling with tragic consequences. A 2024 MusiCares survey revealed that over 8% of respondents within the industry had serious thoughts of suicide, notably higher than the 5% rate among the general population. Jeffrey Brown reports on a festival focused on mental health in the music industry for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
