..AND MORE TBA
Earlier last year, Those Darlins took a high-power final tour before parting ways to pursue other projects. Two weeks after the band broke up, lead singer Jessi Zazu was diagnosed with cervical cancer.
Since then, she's been on a roller coaster fighting the disease. At one point, she spent a week in the ICU. Now, she's going through a second round of chemotherapy, charging head-on.
She's battle-ready, but fighting cancer is expensive. And while she's getting the best possible care, she has to spend most of her energy healing instead of working. As she goes forward, we want to make sure she's able to focus on her recovery without financial stress.
If Jessi has touched your life with her music, her social justice work or her amazing heart, please consider donating. Every little bit helps! We want to get her back onstage where she belongs.
In her own words: "There's a tumor growing on my body, I don't know what lays in store, but I ain't afraid anymore."
The Nashville garage-rockabilly power trio played here on their only UK tour back in 2012 to a sold out crowd (the photo above is of Jessi having a crowdsurf on that night!).
Her bandmate Nikki is now living and playing in London so when we were approached to help out on a benefit show, we said absolutely and so did some great musicians!
We're going to add a couple more names to the line-up but in the meantime read more about Jessi:
