ABOUT DANSTOCK

DANSTOCK is the vision of Dan Stock, a longtime member of Chicago’s music scene who lost his battle with melanoma.  Stock hoped to use his art form to gather like-minded people who want to help find a cure for this disease that affects so many people. Stock performed in the band, Bruiser, and was a producer at Uptown Recording, where he helped dozens of bands create albums for the local music scene. In addition to his work, Dan was a huge sports fan, a great friend with a loud, infectious laugh and most importantly, a loving husband and father to his wife Angie and their five-year-old daughter, Charlie. Today, Angie and friends continue to keep Dan's vision alive. For more information visit DANSTOCK at http://danstockbenefit.blogspot.com.
