A good friend of mine has been hospitalized mid-tour..

I don't know if this is kosher by forum rules, but I figured I'd post it anyway.

A good friend of mine, Dave, from a great band in Providence called Brownbird has fallen really ill on their tour. He's been hospitalized with a severe case of anemia and the doctors still haven't diagnosed a cause behind it, so he's stuck in a hospital somewhere out west racking up medical bills like crazy. Their manager has set up a donation site to help them cover medical costs. It sucks seeing tours fall through...especially when it's because of a serious illness.

Being a group of caring musicians, I wanted to share this with you. If you're able to help them out, that's awesome; but if nothing else, send good vibes Dave's way and hope for a swift recovery!

You can listen to their music here. http://brownbird.bandcamp.com/

Thanks, guys!

That sucks. I'll toss in a few.

I heard the band on the radio a couple of years ago and thought they were awesome but couldn't find anything online. Thanks for sharing the Bandcamp link.

Oh, shit. This is someone I actually know.

Oh, man. I wish David a speedy recovery.

Thank you guys! I know your help will be much appreciated from them.
Haven't been able to get in touch with Dave yet, but I'll keep y'all updated as I find out news.

Edit:
All proceeds of Brownbird's merch is now going to offset Dave's medical bills. Things can be bought through their bandcamp or official website.

Including albums? I had been meaning to pick up the newest anyhow, this would do double-duty! I'll send some money to the health campaign, too.
