It s the sound of raw, unapologetic human emotion. Born of struggle, hard ship, overcoming adversity and living to connect our common experiences through the beauty of music, Blues has helped define the pure American sound. While perh aps not one s first thought when listening to the Blues, the range of emotions i t evokes have a lot in common with those impacted by cancer. Project Blues was b orn first in the hearts of a few good men who had experienced cancer and helples sly watched loved ones struggle with the disease. The idea sprung up from the no tion that there s fellowship and healing in the Blues. Pain. Fellowship. Passion . Healing. This emotional journey brings us together in Project Blues.
