Welcome to 10 tracks, my guest today is MIKE GOMOLL:
Mike is the founder of the charity JOEY’S SONG, which is in memory of his son Joey, who died in 2010, just shy of his 5th birthday after battling a rare form of epilepsy called Dravet's Syndrome his entire life..
Mike shares with us JOEY’s SONG, the Freezing Man Festival and foundation, and working with CURE epilepsy foundation.
In the 15-plus years since Joey's death, Joey's Song has grown from a few acoustic guitars in a sports bar to a multi-day concert series featuring Grammy winners and Rock n Roll Hall of Famers (Members of bands like Cheap Trick, Guns N Roses, The Go-Go's, The Bangles, Tears For Fears, Garbage, Portugal.The Man, Goo Goo Dolls, Eve 6, Everclear and many more). This amazing collection of musicians gathers every January in Madison, WI. They volunteer their time and talent, and form a series of supergroups throughout the weekend for a one-of-a-kind concert event.
