Blues guitarist Nick CurranBlues and roots-rock guitarist Nick Curran has been diagnosed with cancer of the tongue and is undergoing therapy in his hometown of Austin, Texas. Reform School Girl, Curran's Eclecto Groove Records debut with his band the Lowlifes, is scheduled for February 16th, 2010 release.

Curran is expected to make a full recovery and is preparing to resume his tour schedule after laying low in Austin for a couple of months. In a statement on the Eclecto Groove website, Curran says, "I'm really looking at this as just a small bump in the road. I think it's one of those life things that happens which reminds you not to take life for granted and help you become the best person you can."

To help with his medical expenses, a benefit show has been organized for Curran at the Rhythm Room club in Phoenix, Arizona. A frequent performer at the club, Curran has appeared at the Rhythm Room with Ronnie Dawson, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, and his own bands. The benefit show will be held on Monday, February 15, 2010 at 7:00 PM and will feature performances from the Rocket 88s, the Jump Back Brothers, and the Dave Riley/ Bob Corritore Juke Joint Blues Band, among others.

We hope that Curran recovers quickly and wish him the best of luck with the new album.
