Roe was a guitar teacher for 30+ years, owned 3 music stores, won awards for Best New Heavy Metal Band while in Denver with Killian Dare and was in Deaf Child as well as toured the music circuit as the guitarist in Bizaroe. He was also in the band Destiny. Roe owned a music paper in Denver called “Denver Music Scene” where he promoted local bands, etc.
Roe Miranda is a close friend of many, many people, someone who has been an inspiration and a big influence and help to many in the Houston & Denver music scene. He is also one of the kindest and most generous people you’ll ever meet. He is currently facing the greatest challenge of his life… Kidney Failure from Kidney Cancer.
Unfortunately, the treatment to save his life is expensive and is not covered by medical insurance, so there has been a GoFundMe Campaign set up & we are doing two benefits. The first will be on May 25th at BFE Rock Club & Bar and the second will be on June 16th at Concert Pub North (details coming soon on the June Benefit or keep an eye out for it on Facebook) in Houston. The goal is to raise $21,000.00 for his medical expenses and for treatment. It’s a big goal, but we have faith that everyone out there who has any kind of love for music will pitch in to help us reach our goal. Just remember that every little bit, whether it’s a donation to the GoFundMe Campaign or it’s donating items to be auction or raffled off at the Benefits, helps to get us closer to taking away a lot of Roe and his family’s worry about how to pay the bill! And that’s not much to ask for someone who has dedicated so many years to music, has been an inspiration and who has helped so many in the music scene.
