Hidden Love provides medical relief for Peter Case

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 25, 2009

Santa Monica, CA--Friends, fans and fellow artists of singer-songwriter Peter Case have rallied toward his medical relief following the musician's unexpected open-heart surgery in January: They have established the Hidden Love Medical Relief Fund and Benefit Concert to cover the cost of his medical and related expenses.

Emergency open-heart surgery was not on Case's itinerary this winter: he had just begun a session of his popular songwriting class at McCabe's Guitar Shop and was preparing to celebrate his 25th Anniversary performing there in February. Following the show, he was set to leave for a tour of the U.K. and parts of Europe through mid-March. Instead, Case spent the winter successfully recovering at home from double bypass surgery. His doctors have declared him strong and stress that he will be back at work as soon as recovery is complete. However, until then, the question of the cost of his care remains unresolved. Case, a three-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and producer is among the 47 million+ Americans, many of them musicians, who are uninsured.

"Hidden Love was established because we care for Peter and for his work," says the fund's director, Arthur Shingler. "No one is going to profit from this venture. We simply feel that at the end of the day, we need to take care of each other." The money raised through the Hidden Love Medical Relief Fund will be applied to Case's expenses related to his hospitalization and post-surgery recovery.

Additionally, McCabe's is producing a Hidden Love Benefit Concert in the spring. Details will be forthcoming once the date and line-up are confirmed.
