In May of 2023, New York punk icon and humanitarian Jesse Malin, suffered a rare spinal stroke which has left him paralyzed from the waist down. It is a sad and devastating story and it shouldn't happen to anyone. But as one friend put it, "It really shouldn't happen to Jesse."
Malin has been determined to sing, dance and walk again, and after a year of grueling rehabilitation, some progress has been made. There is still a long road ahead, but Jesse Malin's heart has helped him to the point where he will be performing two shows at NYC's Beacon Theatre on December 1st and 2nd, with some heavy friends that include Lucinda Williams, Rickie Lee Jones, J Mascis, Tommy Stinson and Jakob Dylan.
But first, September 20th sees the release of "Silver Patron Saints," a 3 LP tribute to Malin and his songs, with one of the most impressive rosters I have ever seen. All proceeds from sales of this amazing record will go to Jesse's Sweet Relief fund
Just look at this lineup:

Thanks. I agree - everybody who cares about Jesse (and great music) should order this one.
Can't say anything to add to this except your friend was right- It really shouldn't have happened to Jesse
I love Jesse's attitude about forging ahead. I see there is a 2nd night at NYC's Beacon Theater for a related tribute gig. The album looks like a winner.

Have already pre-ordered on iTunes. And snagged a pair of tickets for the 2nd Beacon show. Jess's an inspiration.
Thank you Sal. This is good music for a good cause for a great guy. Very kind of you to help get the word out on his behalf, standup guy that you always are, too.
Amazing line-up. And, its an unbelievably low price for a 3 lp set. Thanks for the heads up, Sal.
Don't have a record player but will order on ITunes!!! Love you Jesse. Keep up the good fight oxoxoxo
