Label: Jesse Malin Benefit

Released 11/1/2024

"As always in my songs, the themes are all there- transcendence, positivity and global unity through music," says Jesse Malin. "This is what I love to do, and I'm going to do everything I can to keep doing it." Silver Patron Saints: The Songs of Jesse Malin is a tribute and benefit album, with all proceeds to Jesse Malin's Sweet Relief artist fund. "This record is a dynamite and long-overdue awareness project, non-stop star time in vigorously personal twists on behalf of a great rock & roll songbook," writes longtime supporter, David Fricke. In May 2023, Jesse Malin suffered a rare spinal stroke that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Last December, Malin told Rolling Stone, "I have a lot of anxiety and insomnia. Your mind goes into some dark places. But I just have to keep a positive outlook and believe." He is now undergoing a strict daily regimen with physical therapy and stem-cell treatments. "I am getting some strength back in my legs, but it moves a lot slower than I would like. I don't want to portray it like I'm ready to do the James Brown splits onstage. I definitely have a long way to go, but I'm blessed and so grateful for the amazing fans and friends that I have." Fricke adds, "Jesse Malin knows about scars - from his youth, observation and more. They all carry tales, and he's not done telling them. Silver Patron Saints is the gang back at the bar, coming to the stage to toast the composer and his story so far." *All proceeds from the album are going directly to Jesse's Sweet Relief Benefit Fund to aid in his recovery from the debilitating stroke he suffered last year, which has caused him to be paralyzed from the neck down. He has slowly recovered some mobility and is on a path to recovery but that path is long, arduous, and quite expensive. Glassnote is passing on 100% of the revenue from this album to Jesse directly and The Orchard has agreed to not take a fee on this as well.
