Episode Four - Laurie Sargent - Rock Musician and founder of the Billy Conway Artist's Fund

Laurie Sargent and Billy Conway were independent rock artists who met in Boston and moved to Montana in 2009. Billy was the drummer for two successful bands, Treat Her Right and Morphine, and he had a presence that helped make everyone around him feel as if they mattered, and had something to offer. So when Billy passed away in 2021, Laurie wanted to create something that honored his memory but also provided other artists to benefit from Billy's generous spirit. So she created the Billy Conway Artists Fund, which provides funding but also mentorship and support for Native artists. The first recipient of this fund. a Hip Hop artist named Foreshadow, has just completed his first album, Perfect Timing, which has just been released. You can order Foreshadow's album here: https://www.foreshadow406.com/And you can find out information about how to apply for the Billy Conway Artist's Fund here: https://www.billyconwayartistfund.org/To order tickets to the launch party in Livingston on March 30th, go here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bcaf-presents-foreshadow-record-release-celebration-tickets-1251391769469?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurlSupport the show
