The Dystonia Collective, is a not-for-profit organisation on a mission to raise Dystonia awareness, research, and support patients in need of treatment.
What is Dystonia?
Dystonia is a movement disorder in which your muscles contract involuntarily, causing repetitive or twisting movements. The condition can affect one part of your body (focal dystonia), two or more adjacent parts (segmental dystonia) or all parts of your body (generalized dystonia). The muscle spasms can range from mild to severe. They may be painful, and they can have a detrimental impact on one's life. The cause, and a cure is unknown. And worst of all, this condition can effect anyone, male or female, at any age, and of any health. |
|
WHY HAVEN’T I HEARD OF DYSTONIA BEFORE?
It was only half-way through the last century that dystonia was recognised as a physical (organic) condition (before becoming medically recognised, it was thought by mid century doctors & practitioners that patients had conjured their movements up mentally). Even to this day, dystonia often remains misunderstood, misdiagnosed and therefore mismanaged. Research from the United States indicates that dystonia is as common as multiple sclerosis, and far more prevalent than other rare diseases you may have heard of, such as Motor Neurone Disease. This is mainly due to the lack of public awareness around this devastating disorder.
Dystonia is no different to cancer in that nobody is immune from becoming diagnosed with it, it does not discriminate...

A Brief update on The Dystonia Collective Events
The Dystonic Blues Fest charity event, is one that we are very proud of and strive to run annually, this year though, all of us involved need to hit the breather button in 2020, for a magnitude of reasons, a needed break in what would be its fourth year.
Next year 2021 we’ll be looking to bring the valley vibe bliss back for another solid day of music and mates,
summer sunshine and icey beverages.
A mini music fundraiser fest that was created from friendship, love, beauty, and heart, for great cause ~ awareness and support.
An event and day at its core foundation that is still underpinned by those very same things.
Which is what makes the gig and day that true, unmistakable valley vibe that we all love for friends and folks near and far...
With big hearts, here’s to good energy for The Dystonic Blues Fest #4 and to all areas of 2021 💙

Some Terribly Sad News...
Jason has written a word in remembrance of Ewan Mueck:
It’s been with shock and sadness in writing this..
A young man, a musical artist, a great human, Ewan Mueck, a fellow legend from our home Valley who played at The Dystonic Blues last month, lead singer and guitarist of Man Cub, tragically passed away late last week.
I’d only met Ewan in person for the first time on the day of the festival. Though through other friends circles known and cherished in high regard, and will be so sorely missed.
The last time I seen him, we were having breakfast the following morning, he was sitting at the end of the table playing the coolest of acoustic tunes, so effortlessly..
And the last contact I had with him, a couple of weeks ago, giving thanks for joining us, and hitting the stage.. his reply was this:
“Yeah brother thanks for having me... It was fun.. The valley needs more events like it...”
Ewan, absolutely, tragically gone too soon ❤️
Our encounter was so recent, and so brief, but I’m grateful for it. Thank you for your support, encouragement, and for sharing your incredible talent to our Valley.
Deep condolences and thoughts of mine go to your family, and friends..
I can only imagine...
Rest peacefully mate, I hope you’re trouble free and going large wherever you are on the other side.

YOU'RE ALL AMAZING!
ANOTHER beautiful Dystonic Blues Fest, and a wonderbeaut day had by all:)
Thank you so much to those that made their way out for it, to the musicians for serving up their sound and passion, and to every other hand on deck helping out on the day - a big job and a big day, made successful by every individual involved!
This year the focus being on young McKenzie Tamala, suffering from Generalised Dystonia, 11 years old and one of the worst cases in Australia ~ in desperate need of a larger disability van to fit the growing girl into ~ while for most of us a vehicle upgrade can be a necessity for a growing family, this van for them is not only necessary, but it is crucial for Mckenzie and her mother to maintain access to simple life basics we can tend to take for granted but more importantly for all levels of medical services and emergencies that she constantly requires, it is quite literally their lifeline. Helping them attain it has been a paramount objective for The Dystonia Collective, their lives are tremendously difficult as it is.
These past few months we’ve also seen and been through incredible destruction with what recent and current bushfires have been unleashing around our country and backyards…
Being a Dystonia Charity, we still wanted to extend a helping hand in this devastating time, we don’t know anyone that hasn’t been effected either indirectly or in the face of it battling on the front line, or losing homes, or worse.
We can gladly say, that all efforts and stressful late nights in trying to pull this event together in record short time, along with every extremely content guest out there on the day (and to those that couldn’t make it but still donated, thank you!), we’ve been able to raise up $8000!

Enough for McKenzie and her mother Sheryl to see the last of funds needed to finally purchase the van + on road costs (though they still need to further wait another six months or more for NDIS to carry out the disability conversions - another reason why this had been an urgent matter for them).
We want to thank everybody involved that helped us get them over the line, it’s been great news and one less thing for them to worry about.
The other half of funds raised we were able to help out families between the MacLean and Nambucca Valley.
Families that have remained anonymous but have expressed deep thanks and gratitude in such a time. The particular families we’ve helped have suffered losses like many, but were also struggling to see support and a leg up in the aftermath. With this years event we’ve collectively been able to provide them with some much needed assistance.
Thank you from each of us here at this modest little team, The Dystonia Collective! We’re setting our eye’s on what we can achieve for 2020 event’s toward funding for Dystonia Research…

The Dystonic Blues Fest is an event that we’re aiming to run annually... and IT’S ON FOR 2019 ~ SAVE THE DATE (or change your plans;)
Things have been up in the air a little, with Jason only just getting back from Korea this year and then again recently landing back in Australia after making his way to Peru to help young McKenzie fundraise toward getting the desperate help she needs due to Dystonia.
There’s a lot to pull a mini music festival like this together, and times right now are busy, pressured, and worrying, with also what’s happening to our friends and families lives with recent and current wildfires.
Though it’s super short notice, and we’re pushing really hard to bring it all together for this years Dystonic Blues Fest, we’ve made the decision to do so ~ that it’s better to give it what we’ve got, and have it up and running as apposed to it lapsing this year.
No matter what, this year it will be a win for everyone getting along for it, as long as we have musicians, sunshine (or rain), good food, cold drinks, friends family mates and community, getting up for the cause and down for a big old boogie ~ that’s a win.
And the best part is, we have all of those things.
The people we’re aiming to help, really need our support.
So please get up for this cause and down for that boogie!
This years gig is a big deal..!
Jason’s back home in Australia finally, after almost an entire year of treatments in Korea, it’s a big that he’s seen the over 90% recovery that he has, that he’s in the stable condition that he is ~ that he’s at last able to get along to this event and be apart of it and enjoy it for the very first time.. this is the one.
It’s huge ~ according to western medicine he’s not supposed to be this way.
He’s not seen many friends since before he was diagnosed in early 2017. And not after Korea either.. it’s been so very long.. This is just one part of all of what this has been for him ~ but just the detached experience of going without human connection of friends for almost 3 years, has been, and still is, a degree of trauma for him emotionally and mentally.
It would be so nice to be able to come together for this event..
He’s home, and he’ll be there.
It’s an even bigger deal, absolutely, that the young girl, McKenzie Tamala, who has our charity of The Dystonia Collective fully focused on getting her the help she desperately needs.
Which you can understand more of by watching a short video by following this LINK.
Alongside our support for McKenzie, this small grass roots charity, The Dystonia Collective, will be extending our help, with your support, to share funds raised at this years event between McKenzie and those families worst effected from the fires.
There’s a lot of meaningful reason to make your way to The Dystonic Blues Fest this year...
If you can make it, please do.
It’s an intimate event with 200 tickets available right now ~ TIX are up for purchase, don’t miss this ~ secure yours today, get along for a good time and support this extremely worthy cause.
Thanks for your time in reading, and hope to see you out there :)
NB: we’re still in the process of securing acts, the ones on board so far are brilliant musicians, even have ourselves some up tempo didgeridoo acts, plus one of our headliners who’ll be traveling specially from Melbourne to make this event ~ all yet to be revealed along with full artist line up!
Watch this space;)

NSW BUSH FIRES.
Along with trying to help out McKenzie with the painful life of dystonia that she lives day after day, as a small grass roots charity that’s being built on friends, family, love, and community, The Dystonia Collective still wants to reach out and help families worst effected by the devastation and destruction that the recent wild fires along the coast of New South Wales have caused.
We aren’t a big charity, but we would like to extend our hand and share the funds raised for what remains of 2019 between helping McKenzie and to bushfire effected families of this Valley we call home.
Our hearts go out to all of those that are effected by these wild fires.
If we can see community come together for our extra special annual event this coming Christmas period, December dates to be confirmed - for The Dystonic Blues Fest #3 2019 - where we’ll enjoy a day gathered together with friends, family, music, good food & cold beverages, and as much support as we can offer to those that need it most in this time.
Tickets available very soon..
Hope to see you there!
