about

THE WAY BACK is an album of songs written by Veterans who served in our military and currently work as nurses at the Department of Veterans Affairs (in locations across the country). This album was made possible through the cooperation of VA clinics and the VA Center for Development and Civic Engagement (CDCE) – and through the participation of VA nurses, veterans, songwriters, creative arts therapists and volunteers. All songs are based on real-life experiences shared by participants during Freedom Sings USA classes and workshops between February and April of 2023.

PLEASE NOTE:
The Bandcamp system automatically changes a tax for all purchases (even for nonprofits). We have adjusted the album donation amount (price) so that the tax will not be an extra cost to the buyer. When you receive your donation receipt, the tax amount will be added to your donation total. We are actively working with Bandcamp to correct this issue. Until then, thank you for understanding.
