Brandon and the Fab Tones
In 2019, Brandon Rummel was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. During his treatment, he was introduced to the Play It Back Program through Teen Cancer America, where music became more than a passion—it became a source of hope and healing.
Working with Kenli Mattus and Phil Montfort of the Eddie Ray Music Foundation, Brandon turned his love of music into original songs that tell his story.
Today, we are grateful to share that Brandon's cancer is in remission, and he is living his best life through Brandon and the Fab Tones. This music is a celebration of resilience, friendship, and the belief that even life's greatest challenges can inspire something beautiful.
