Patio Records
About
Patio Records is a Waltham-based music label and community of artists that raises money to build healing gardens at hospital treatment centers. The gardens give patients going through cancer treatment and other demanding medical care a natural, peaceful place of comfort, on the belief that while science provides the cure, nature can lift the spirit and add to quality of life. Music is the engine: benefit concerts and album sales fund the creation and care of the gardens.
The effort began with Mary Eagan, who died of acute myelogenous leukemia and asked that any money raised in her honor go toward a garden patio for future patients. Annual benefit concerts followed, featuring Canadian and American musicians, and the label has sponsored recordings made from Nashville to Nova Scotia, Ottawa to Toronto and Massachusetts to Michigan. Artists who record with the label become part of its extended family and act as musical ambassadors.
