"Rhythm Heals is a celebration of survival and spirit and the relationship music has to healing," said Dr. John Boggess, surgeon and member of N.E.D. "Gynecologic Cancer is a "silent killer" and N.E.D. intends to give voice and awareness to Gyn Cancers in order to save lives through understanding. N.E.D. is made up of six Gynecologic Cancer Surgeons who are also musicians, who record and perform original music to raise awareness and funding for Gynecologic Cancers. The band released our first commercial self-titled release with Motema Records last September and received 3.5 stars from All Music Guide. Blending classic rock with folk and other popular music styles, N.E.D. hopes to entertain and inspire with melody and insightful lyrics. Rhythm Heals will be a weekend long celebration which includes a Patron's Fundraising dinner followed by concerts at the Cat's Cradle and Lincoln Theater. Proceeds from the event will go to support the band's mission and to establish a Gynecologic Cancer Support Group for patients of Rex and UNC Hospitals."

N.E.D. is six doctors you hope to never meet in a hospital, yet you could have a great time rocking out to their music. By profession, they are world renowned oncologists and pioneer surgeons from Chapel Hill, New York, Texas and Oregon, charged with guiding women (and their families) through cancer diagnoses and treatment and-hopefully-to a cure. With each case, their greatest hope is to deliver the sweetest words a cancer patient can ever hear: "No evidence of disease." (Thus, the name of their band: N.E.D.)

This band has a mission: To enhance knowledge about gynecologic cancer, to save lives, as well as to bring hope through music to those undergoing treatment, and to the world at large. These doctors strongly believe that music heals. They are in it to heal themselves, their patients and everyone who will listen.

TWO PERFORMANCES
February 27 @ 8:30pm - Cat's Cradle, Carrboro
February 28 @ 8:00pm- Lincoln Theatre, Raleigh

Proceeds will benefit women with Gynecological Cancer by creating the N.E.D. Patient Support Group for UNC/REX Hospitals and by supporting The N.E.D. Fund, Marjie's Fund and the Gynecologic Cancer Foundation.
