MUSIC 🎼 EDUCATION 🎻  CONCERTS

We are proud to be a premiere non-profit in the prestigious Falmouth Road Race - an event that is so important to us that helps our organization raise money for scholarships, grants and instruments on Cape Cod. 

Whether you are joining our team or supporting us with a donation, THANK YOU for helping us make a tremendous impact! 

VINEGRASS MUSIC is a 100% volunteer base non profit that produces concerts and a festival in order to raise money for scholarships, grants and instruments on Cape Cod. The mission is to provide scholarships to students studying music at an accredited 4 year university. In addition to the scholarships, we will subsidize camps and workshops, as well as provide instruments to younger students in need. Founded by Monica Rizzio in 2014, Vinegrass is a lifelong dream for her to give back to those who have helped her become a professional musician. Raised on a ranch in east Texas, Monica always loved music, but her family's financial means prohibited her from taking music lessons and having instruments. Her only instrument for the longest time was her voice until she was able to pick up the flute in elementary school. Monica did not learn to play the fiddle, ukulele or guitar until she was in her early 20s, after graduation from Belmont University in Nashville, TN with a degree in music and minor in music business. She often wonders what may have been had she been given the opportunity as a child. She has opened the only roots based music school on Cape Cod, Washashore Music where she provides instruction for Fiddle, Guitar, Ukulele, Piano, Voice, Songwriting and Artist Development.
