For the first time, CancerBlows comes to Chicago bringing its signature brand of music and hope raising money for cancer research through a special one-night concert event at Buddy Guy’s Legends Blues Club on December 18th. The night features trumpet stars Wayne Bergeron, jazz trumpeter known for being the lead in Maynard Ferguson's band and appearing on over 500 film scores including La La Land and The Incredibles, and Jens Lindemann, the first classical brass musician to receive the Royal Order of Canada and former member of Canadian Brass, backed by Brass IMPACT! and some surprise special guests. Started ten years ago by trumpeter Ryan Anthony after he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, CancerBlows has raised over two million dollars for research and patient support programs through unique concert events held in cities around the United States including Dallas, TX; Memphis, TN and Cleveland, OH.
