Matt Hammitt
Sep 12, 2011
Sanctus Real lead vocalist Matt Hammitt celebrated his son Bowen's first birthday September 9, even as his first solo album, "Every Falling Tear," releases on Sparrow Records September 13.
The release date of Hammitt's solo album is also the year anniversary of Bowen's first open heart surgery. Bowen was born with a severe congenital heart defect, Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, and has now gone through two heart surgeries, an infection and other complications since being born.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of "Every Falling Tear" benefits the Whole Hearts Foundation, a new non-profit Matt and Sarah Hammitt set up to help families going through similar challenges as themselves; providing assistance for families of children affected by congenital heart defects.
