To top it all off… world renowned gig poster artist Derek Hess personally granted permission to David Breather to use his powerful piece “Cumulonimbus” for the album’s cover art. The purpose of this compilation is to help raise money and send a message of hope to David Breather’s cousin Justin Wise and his family.
Justin was recently diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) at the young age of 44. FTD causes a rapid and serious neurodegenerative decline. Justin and his family have a tough road ahead both emotionally and financially, so David wanted to put together a uniquely entertaining and eclectic compilation in honor of Justin as well as to raise funds to help with the extensive medical care he requires.
On average FTD imposes a more severe economic burden to families, nearly double the amount associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The compilation is “name your price” and David Breather asks you to donate what you can to download and enjoy this incredible album while also contributing to a good cause. All proceeds minus Bandcamp fees will go directly to Justin and his family. For more information about Frontotemporal Dementia please visit theaftd.org
