Alison Edmonson is the Co-Founder and CPA at Harmony Street Society, a nonprofit that offers free tax services and workshops to musicians and artists across New Orleans and beyond. We sit down with Alison to talk about how Harmony Street Society helps creatives navigate the overwhelming world of taxes, fight back against unfair debt collection, and reclaim their financial stability with dignity and compassion.
We also dive into the founding story behind Harmony Street, the everyday struggles artists face with the tax system, and Alison’s mission to create a culture where musicians can thrive professionally without being burdened by financial fears. From chance encounters in the French Quarter to recovering hundreds of thousands in refunds, Alison shows us how small acts of support can make a big impact on the creative community.
Our show's host, David Adams, founded Elation Entertainment, a New Orleans-based multi-media entertainment company. With a solid foundation of 8 years working in the Los Angeles music scene conducting multiple music camps with Grammy Associates, Musicians, and Producers, David brings a wealth of expertise to the table. His experiences have taught him valuable lessons, encouraging him to bring the entertainment industry standards and creative spaces to New Orleans, a place he calls home.
