Simple Dreams
Music With A Mission
Simple Dreams is a Southern Oregon tribute band dedicated to turning every performance into a force for good.
Blending heartfelt interpretations of classic and contemporary favorites, the band brings communities together through music with purpose.
With the support of fans who share their mission to fight hunger, Simple Dreams has already helped provide over 20,000 meals to Rogue Valley food pantries through their partnership with Feeding America.
Their newest project, Rebuilding After Helene, is a stripped-down, soul-stirring digital album of five heartfelt cover songs inspired by the quiet strength of the Carolinas.
Behind the Music
Why This Album Matters
When Hurricane Helene struck Western North Carolina in 2024, it wiped out 86% of small farms and damaged thousands of homes. Nearly a year later, one in five residents still face hunger, roughly twice the state average (NPR, 2024).
Band members Alois Henderson, Albert Lee, and Rick Copeland created Rebuilding After Helene to support families on the road to recovery and to inspire hope, unity, and healing through music.
Every digital download of the album provides 10 meals to food pantries in Western North Carolina through the band's ongoing partnership with Feeding America.

The Healing Power of Music
Music holds a unique power to comfort, connect, and heal. In times of hardship, it becomes more than melody—it becomes a lifeline, reminding us that we’re not alone.
The members of Simple Dreams have generously donated their time with all net proceeds from this album benefiting food pantries serving Western North Carolina.
