Blues for A Cure - The Story
The idea behind Sean Carney’s Blues For A Cure was born during a phone call Sean had with his friend Dr. Paul McCarthy, owner of Honeybee Records. They discussed the notion that Blues music can effect positive change in the world. They then discussed how to support that notion by raising money for a charity, paying the artists a reasonable wage, and presenting an awesome showcase of live Blues worthy of festival designation. At the time, Sean’s mother was undergoing chemotherapy for Hodgkin's Lymphoma. His younger sister and stepmother are cancer survivors and his piano player, John Popovich, is in remission. The charity was clear. Click here to read full story.
Since inception, concerts and auctions have raised a total of $5,000 for Ohio State’s Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James), $6,000 for the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research at The James, and $11,000 for the American Cancer Society, Ohio Division. Through CD donations, we’ve also helped the Blues Foundation raise nearly $1,000 and the Columbus Blues Alliance nearly $500.
