Exoneree Information

Freedom, and the fight for it, bonds together the lives and music of Exoneree Band. Its five members, Raymond Towler, William Michael Dillon, Antoine Day, Eddie Lowery, and Ted Bradford collectively spent more than a century in prison for crimes they did not commit. Their music provides an outlet for the emotions that come from their struggles as innocent men incarcerated. It's a way to explain how they survived and continue to deal with their lost youths, adjusting to life in a changed world. Exoneree Band plays music to inspire, to heal and to fight for justice. Their stories are heartbreaking, gut-wrenching, frustrating, and compelling tales of injustice. Our mission is to help these five men, shine a much brighter light on the massive atrocity of wrongful convictions and to activate anyone with an ounce of empathy to help fight for justice. Our vision is to feature each band member in a segment of a documentary, with a common thread of preparing for an imminent performance and tour. The final segment will culminate with the band, lights low, walking on stage.
