Help Support Gary Vessel’s Stroke Recovery

My friend, band mate, and luthier, Gary Vessel suffered a severe stroke on May 7, 2025. Gary is facing massive medical bills, and is unable to run his shop or perform for the foreseeable future.

He and his family could really use financial support if you are so inclined. Consider contributing or attending a Red Dog Ash performance in the future.
