John Bassette Scholarship

The John Bassette Scholarship
Honoring the enduring legacy of Northeast Ohio’s iconic singer-songwriter John Bassette, this scholarship celebrates creativity, storytelling, and musical craftsmanship. Known for his soulful voice, sharp humor, and deep roots in the folk scene, John dedicated his life to sharing authentic music and encouraging aspiring artists.

The John Bassette Scholarship is dedicated to supporting the next generation of musicians, songwriters, and creative minds as they pursue their educational and artistic journeys. By keeping John’s music and memory alive, we aim to inspire emerging talent to find their voice and share their story with the world.

Donations to the scholarship are accepted here.  You can set the platform fee to zero so that 100% of your donation goes to the Scholarship fund.

The John Bassette Tribute Album can be purchased as a CD or digital download on Bandcamp.
