Help Michael Hurwitz Overcome Cancer Costs

Our dear friend and beloved musician, Michael Hurwitz, has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 Lymphoma cancer. Lymphoma is highly treatable, and Mike is undergoing chemotherapy, infusions, and continuous testing.

Many of you know Mike as a proud Wyoming native—he grew up on a ranch near Laramie and spent his early life cowboying and rambling around the country playing music. He moved to Alta, WY, in 2000, where he focused his time on raising his son, Joey, and building a life full of humor and love for the outdoors. Mike found a way to create a warm home and forge deep connections with friends and neighbors, sharing his music and his generous spirit with everyone around him.

His love of the blues and his original heartfelt ballads of the West and his gift for storytelling have touched the lives of many, from local, national and international stages to the airwaves of the world and beyond. Mike’s band, Michael Hurwitz and the Aimless Drifters, has been a cherished fixture in the region for over 25 years.

Mike is facing weekly trips across Idaho, and despite his trademark optimism and resilience, his crappy musician’s insurance doesn’t come close to covering these significant expenses. We’re hoping to raise $60,000 to help Mike with his travel and medical costs so he can focus on his recovery.

Your support will mean the world to Mike, Joey and those who are lucky enough to call Mike a friend. Let’s come together and help him get back to what he loves most—sharing his music and spirit with all of us.

Thank you for your generosity and caring.
