In 2010 and 2011, “ROCK The Fight Against CHD” has raised almost $25,000 for CHD awareness and research while drawing over 600 people. On Friday, August 3rd, this exciting concert and fundraising event returns to the Venus DeMilo in Swansea, MA.
Event coordinator and local musician, Donnie Wilson, is excited to reunite with his uncle, Ed Violette as the acoustic duo, Back-2-Back that had a huge following in the S.E. Mass area throughout the 90’s. Wilson was inspired to write and record his album, Sedated Echo, released in 2010, when his son Jacob was born with CHD (a congenital heart defect) in May 2009. Wilson was always recognized for his soaring vocals, his gritty guitar work, and his charisma in front of a crowd. Now, his return to music is fueled by his passion for CHD advocacy. The amazing doctors and nurses at Women and Infants Hospital and Boston Children’s Hospital who saved the life of Jacob and so many other CHD patients have served as the inspiration for the single, “Super Hero Fantasy”, which is now being used in several national efforts for CHD awareness. Wilson also serves on the National Awareness Committee for Mended Little Hearts.
