We’re thankful to the many exceptional artists who have performed at our events over the years. Here’s a little more about them.
We want to express our deep gratitude to Linda Waterfall and Dan Maher for the benefit concert supporting the inception of EASE Cancer Foundation in 2007. Linda passed away in January 2019. She was a truly talented singer-songwriter who taught music therapy for EASE. No words can express the thankfulness we feel for having the gift of Linda's friendship and music over many decades, nor the loss. Thank you, Linda.
