Like most professional musicians, Luke Hunsicker doesn’t have health insurance. For almost a year, the 29-year-old bassist for the American Princes has been battling what doctors first identified as a benign brain tumor, but later determined was brain cancer.

The good news is that Hunsicker’s finished with radiation and just beginning physical therapy, which he says is already paying dividends. He starts chemotherapy in January, but as chemotherapy goes, he says, it’ll be “pretty chill.”

The bad news is that his medical bills have left him and his wife, Sydney, saddled with debt.

Enter the local music community. On Thursday, Dec. 17, 14 local bands — a who’s who of the Little Rock indie scene — will join at Revolution to raise money for Hunsicker. It’s not unprecedented — Lucero played earlier this year in one of several benefit shows — but in terms of scope, the concert surpasses just about anything in recent memory.
