They're calling in the "National Endowment For The Brents" -- and it's yet another example of Chicago musicians coming together for a great cause. As friends of Brent Puls describe the situation:
Our friend Brent Puls-- songwriter, painter, nerd, one-time rapper(?!), and "sexy-sax" man-- has had some medical issues of late.
Basically, a childhood gut problem got seriously out of whack and it almost killed him. He's doing okay now, but that's only after a lot of $urgery.
The mission: help him out with some of the medical bills. Some of our favorite Chicago musicians -- including Joe Pug, Birdy On The Moon (featuring Wilco's Pat Sansone), Brent's old band Bumpus, Terrible Spaceship, Leadfoot, JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound, and Rachel Yamagata -- have dedicated tracks to a mix available via bandcamp.com.
Along with Brent's L.A. friends, they hope to solicit your donation in exchange for a download. Please consider helping.
