The Mission

Through exciting & unique musical events featuring the talents of brass musicians worldwide, CancerBlows raises both awareness and money to encourage research for cancers with a focus on blood cancers & multiple myeloma.

The music and the mission go on...

CancerBlows was intended as a singular moment-in-time but response has been so overwhelming that we’re continuing the fight with more exciting events including the ones featured below.





North Texas Giving Day – September 19th

Please consider a donation to CancerBlows on North TX Giving Day this Thursday, Sept. 19, 2019. Donations made to CancerBlows through the NTGD website link below on the 19th are eligible for bonus funds from the Communities Foundation of Texas.

Please consider supporting A Song For Hope: The Ryan Anthony Story. A talented group of filmmakers is currently following Ryan – capturing his journey through terminal cancer and telling the story of how music has the power to heal and transform our lives. Interested investors may purchase a share of the film for as little as $12,000 but all donations make a difference in their ability to tell the story properly and then distribute it to a wider audience. A substantial portion of profits from the movie will support cancer research and The Ryan Anthony Foundation. More information is available at SongForHopeMovie.com.





Re:mission – Rubato Release!

The new solo album by Ryan Anthony will be available in the online store by November with digital distribution available by the end of the year.

Re:mission – Rubato is the first of three planned Re:mission recordings each one featuring different musical groups. While the title Remission may seem obvious as the goal for all cancer patients striving for remission and ultimately cure, it also urges us to renew our commitment to our personal mission whether it is making beautiful music or finding a cure for cancer.

Rubato’s literal Italian translation is “stolen”. In music, it refers to pushing and pulling the tempo, stealing time from one measure and giving it back to another in order to create a phrase. As Ryan’s only solo release in the Re:mission series, Rubato features a varied collection of works, most of which have been composed specifically for him. The recording includes Peter Meechan’s Renaissance of Wonder and Jim Stephenson’s Concerto for Hope. Each tells a portion of Ryan’s musical journey since diagnosis and his determination to “steal time” from cancer.

To preorder Re:mission - Rubato, please visit the online store.
