I've worked with Bill for over 20 years, says Freight Artistic Director Peter Williams in an email interview. He's a creative genius, and he loves the Freight and Salvage. I'm so thankful he wanted to do something to support us.
The Freight began 2024 facing a deficit of roughly $1 million. As word of the funding gap became public, Managing Director Clayton Shelvin in a separate interview says donors, supporters and musicians from across the world vowed to help.
Due to this fact and other impediments to recovery, several organizations have been forced to close. Others weather the storm and survive through innovative programming, funding reformations, significant downsizing, donations from longtime patrons, support from local artists and communities, as well as other means.
It's been a hard, tough year, Shelvin acknowledges. After Frisell learned of the situation, his management team contacted the Freight and offered to support.
