f*ck cancer

Sparked by Ann Wilson (vocalist for the band, Heart) and her recent battle with cancer, Elise formed a “pop up” Heart tribute band, Bad Animals--alongside theatre friends, bandmates and fellow musicians. Elise recruited a few bands and collaborated with JBC Bookings to put this event in motion.
