So, it’s not really a secret that I’ve always admired the work of Massachusetts musician Elijah Wyman, especially after reviewing his albums that aren’t even in print.
But what may be a secret, or at least not particularly well known, is that the man’s got an extremely rare kidney disorder that’s nearly killed him. (It’s kind of a novelty, actually — a musician suffering from a kidney ailment that’s not self-inflicted.) Anyway, he’s got a transplant lined up now, but as someone trying to make a living from his music, the expenses are pretty high.
So, he’s got a site lined up at which you can contribute anything you’re able. If you like his work, or like supporting independent musicians, or just like being nice, I’d recommend you swing on by.
