Our Mission
“In my private moments during the days after I was told that I had Mesothelioma, I would find myself listening to my favorite music and for those few minutes I was able to forget about being so sick, so afraid and in those times I was able to be me again.”
Sue Norman, March 3, 2008
Thus began our journey and the discovery of our mission.
What we share
We are a group of friends with a common experience and a common desire to play our music in order to bring freedom and peace to those who share our common experience.
Everyone that contributes their musical talent to the band has at least one family member that either endures a life threatening illness or endures a chronic condition that makes life a challenge for them and their loved ones.
We know
Cancer, Parkinson’s disease, Juvenile and Adult Diabetes, Crohn’s Disease, Mental Illness and Death.
Who are we?
We are a collection of individuals who all understand what it means to battle a physical adversity in order to survive; we understand the fear and stress of managing illness and most of all we understand the freedom and peace that music brings to our lives, if even for only a few moments. As individuals united by this common understanding we bring many different genres of music together. We play classic country, modern country, folk, John Denver, oldies, classic rock, coffee house, and a cappella.
What do we get out of it?
That’s obvious. The freedom we get from giving our music to others and watching our audiences is priceless. We get way more out of this than we could ever give. Nothing is better than getting to share this part of our lives with all of our friends and all of you.
Life and peace to you all.
