Volume two of stem cell research benefit album features Thee Oh Sees, Cave Singers, Dr. Dog members and more
A 2011 benefit album called Coming Together for a Cure saw a recovering Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy patient named Ryan Benton record alongside 12 other bands with proceeds going to stem cell research and treatment.
Now, a second volume is being released with a whole new line up, which includes Thee Oh Sees, Cave Singers, and members of Dr. Dog (via bands Golden Boots and Springs). Coming Together For A Cure, Vol. 2, which will be released 29 October, will also feature Benton’s band Sunshine Dreamers.
See the full track listing below, as well as a documentary about Benton’s triumphant recovery, against all odds, and how he has to travel outside of the U.S., where stem cell treatment is banned, to acquire his treatment.
