“Grandaddy is honored to participate in Ten Bands One Cause. Doing something we love and having it help foster healing, conversation and community for people living through cancer is about as positive as music can be. Thank you Red Door Community for your powerful work.” – Jim Fairchild (Grandaddy)
“We feel truly fortunate to do what we do. To support the cause and help out those fighting cancer just by rereleasing an album… that’s a no brainer.” – Andy Farag (Umphrey’s McGee)
We feel fortunate to be able to contribute to a cause that helps people navigate their cancer diagnosis. I’m reminded of my mothers fight and the mountain of difficulties she faced during her struggle against breast cancer. While she ultimately lost her battle my hope is that some day no one has to deal with the realities and intricacies faced with a diagnosis like hers. In honor of Cheryl, Gilda and the millions of others that have had to or will face this truly difficult reality, KEEP GOING. – Cory Murchy (Minus The Bear)
We had a chance to meet and dine with Gilda Radner back in 1979 at the height of her SNL fame. She was wonderfully sweet and kind to us, as she was to everyone. Tom Tom Club feels honored to help support Red Door Community with sales from our “Downtown Rockers” EP on beautiful pink vinyl. – Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth (Tom Tom Club)
