The Freezing Man Festival, held last month in Madison, Wisconsin, is a recent expansion of the annual Joey’s Song concert which raises funds that support CURE Epilepsy research initiatives. All the artists involved with Joey’s Song donate their time and talents, and several of them have personal connections to epilepsy. We spoke with two of these musicians, Kay Hanley, whose daughter has epilepsy, and John Cowsill, who has epilepsy himself.
Kay Hanley is a singer and songwriter for the band Letters To Cleo. She is also the mother to Zoe Mabel, a young woman who has lived with epilepsy for most of her life.
John Cowsill is best known as the drummer for the popular, hit-making, 1960s family band The Cowsills, who were the inspiration for the television show The Partridge Family. In this episode, John discusses the impact of developing epilepsy at the age of two following a traumatic brain injury.
