The Jeremy Wilson Foundation

Adam was recently diagnosed with a Meningioma, a brain tumor requiring surgery. He is unable to work while awaiting surgery, and recovery will take three to six months after that. For a working musician, that's devastating.

Through the JWF Musician Health & Services Program, this campaign helps cover essential medical and living expenses so Adam can focus on healing.

Your tax-deductible gift, in any amount, goes directly to relief and support for Adam’s immediate needs ❤️

There is no one like her - Janet Julian — The Jeremy Wilson Foundation Three hundred and fifty people gathered at the Alberta Rose Theater on April 12 to celebrate the remarkable life and spirit of Janet Julian.

This Sunday at 10:30 AM at The Alberta Rose Theatre we celebrate and remember the astounding and lovely Janet Julian Janet Julian Music. We hope to see you there.

Celebrating the Life of Janet Julian
June 6, 1954 – January 6, 2026

Please join us to celebrate the extraordinary life of Janet Julian — musician, artist, community heart, and beloved friend. Come share your stories, your love, and your music.

From the very first days of the JWF, Janet was there — volunteering at events, donating her artwork, and giving everything she had to a cause she believed in with her whole heart. In 15 years, she became one of our most significant donors ever — not through wealth, but through pure, unstoppable generosity of spirit.

There are no words big enough for how deeply we feel her loss. She is missed in ways we cannot fully express — and she always will be.

Behind every note played on a Portland stage is a musician who has poured their heart — and often their health — into sharing that gift with all of us.

The JWF Musician Health & Services Program exists because those artists deserve more than applause. They deserve a safety net.

Whether it's connecting a musician to healthcare, providing emergency financial support, or simply making sure someone knows they're not forgotten — we show up for the people who have always shown up for us.

You've been moved by their music. Now be the reason they keep playing. 💙

On February 15, 2026, something truly special happened at the Alberta Rose Theatre in Portland, Oregon.

James Low's Big Show 2026 was more than a concert. It was a celebration of community, a tribute to love, and a heartfelt farewell to a dear friend — artist and musician Janet Julian, who left us on January 6th. We felt her spirit in every note played that night.

A profound and deeply personal thank you to James Low for his extraordinary vision, leadership, and tireless energy in bringing this evening to life. James, your dedication to this community is a gift we don't take for granted. 💙

And to the incredible all-star band who gave everything they had on that stage:
🎵 Jesse Emerson — Bass
🎵 Ned Folkerth — Drums
🎵 Ian Miller — Guitar
🎵 Paul Brainard — Pedal Steel & Horns
🎵 Kathryn Claire — Fiddle & Vocals
🎵 Lewi Longmire — Guitar, Organ & Vocals
🎵 Jenny Conlee — Piano, Keys & Accordion

And our wonderful special guests:
✨ Johnny Franco and his Real Brother Dom
✨ Poet Tim Sproul

Together, you filled the Alberta Rose with warmth, joy, and a little flamboyant magic on a cold February night — exactly what this community needed.

Thank you to everyone who came out, who gave, and who believes that our music community is worth fighting for.

A huge, heartfelt thank you to:
🎵 RISLEY
🎵 THE FREQUENCE
🎵 SHY HONEY
🎵 BRYAN FREE & JACOB VAN AUKEN
🎵 CAMP CRUSH

Big news for Oregon musicians! 🎵 https://www.thejwf.org/

The JWF Musician Health & Services Program has expanded — and that means we're here for YOU, even if you're not in crisis.

For years, musicians have come to us when things got really bad. A scary diagnosis. A hospital bill. A health emergency with no safety net. And we were proud to be there.

But now? We want to reach you before it gets to that point.

Through our new partnership with the Oregon Health Authority, our trained Navigators can help you with:

🎸 Health insurance enrollment (OHP & Marketplace)
🎸 Medicare coverage and assistance
🎸 Finding medical, dental, and mental health care
🎸 Understanding your benefits
🎸 Transitioning coverage after a job or life change
🎸 Resolving healthcare access issues

You don't have to be sick to ask for help. You just have to be a working musician in Oregon or Clark County, WA.

Reach out. That's what we're here for. 💙
