Singer-songwriter Rosanne Cash and local singer-songwriters have been teaming up with active-duty servicemembers and veterans at JBER to help write original music.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Since November, singer-songwriter Rosanne Cash and local singer-songwriters have been teaming up with active-duty servicemembers and veterans to help write original music.
Although not affiliated with the military herself, Cash says the topic is something that hits close to home for her after undergoing brain surgery in 2007 for a rare condition. “She often shares the transformative power of music as medicine in her life through workshops and residencies while on tour,” a press release from the association said.
On top of being a safe and healthy place to express emotions, the event is providing a sense of connectedness for veterans and active duty servicemembers. Robert Gordon with the nonprofit group ConnectVets shared how it can be a struggle for military members and veterans to get out of the house, and that having somewhere to connect with others is critical — and connections can be critical.
