Good day, hope all is well.
We'd like to help out.
Alec Fraser helped us out so much this past summer with great advice and support when we recorded our debut album with Jack de Keyzer, Alec engineered, co-wrote and played on the song “Wake Up” on our new RED HOT album and Alec even told me to bring the video camera and video taped a video for us and offered to edit it...we sincerely appreciated everything he did for us, it was very cool of him to do :)
So it’s time to give back in his time of need, The Blazers are donating $5.00 to Alec Fraser (who is recovering from a serious illness and we’d like to help with medical expenses) from every album we sell at our 2 CD release parties and also $5.00 from every album we sell in the month of October. We’ve sold over 20 CD’s so far before the official release and we hope to sell many more. Details @
