“My family has been personally affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia. It is important to me to be involved and try to help reduce the effects of and eradicate this insidious disease,” Oates said.
“My family has been directly touched by Alzheimer’s disease,” Starr added. “My father and younger cousin both suffered with the illness and I saw firsthand the toll it takes on not only the individual with the disease but the tremendous hardship imposed on family caregivers. The Broyles Foundation is doing great work to support caregivers and I really felt strongly about getting involved. It is my hope that by bringing the issue to the forefront with this show, we can raise both money and awareness to help the Foundation support caregivers and families of Alzheimer’s sufferers.”
Oates will release a new album, titled Arkansas, in March. Starr is an Arkansas native who now resides in Cedaredge, Colorado. Oates produced Starr’s latest EP, The Head and Heart.
