Our community is rallying around Jamie Wallace, someone who has given so much to all of us over the years.
For so many families, a visit to ErnieKingMusic store has been more than just shopping — it’s been part of our memories. It’s where children picked out their very first instrument, where friends and families searched for the perfect Christmas or birthday gift for the musicians they love, and where countless people found encouragement, advice, and kindness the moment they walked through the door.
At the heart of that warmth is a truly special person. Jamie is a talented musician, a supporter of local arts, and someone who has always made everyone feel welcome and included. Whether you were a seasoned performer or just learning your first notes, you were treated like family.
Jamie has also been a wonderful supporter of our festival over the years, always showing up for our community and helping keep music alive and thriving here. Now, he is facing serious health challenges, and this is our chance to show up for him the way he has always shown up for us.
A GoFundMe has been created to help support her during this difficult time. If you are able to donate, share, or simply send love and encouragement, it would mean so much.
Let’s come together for one of our own. Communities are built by people like Jamie and now it’s our turn to give back.
