Several musicians from thesixtyone have come together to pay tribute to a special guy, and a special band. The musical output will be released here under the band name "For Supergrover".Here is the story thus far:
Supergrover is a very active listener on thesixtyone, and he's a very funny guy. In May of 2008, he was diagnosed with cancer. Even after the diagnosis, he has maintained a great sense of humor. Many listeners (and some artists) on thesixtyone have shown their support for Supergrover by leaving messages on his wall and incorporating Grover (the muppet) into their avatar images.
Supergrover has described 'For Squirrels' as his "favorite band that no one has heard of." They might have developed a much larger audience if tragedy hadn't struck so early in the band's career. Two founding members of the band died in a car accident along with their tour manager on September 8th, 1995. You can read more about the band here:
