Country music and autism awareness come together at Nashville Palace for "An Acoustic Evening for Autism," where artists use their platform to support families affected by autism through the newly formed Country Music Autism Awareness Foundation.
• Doug Mathis explains how his song about an autistic boy named Jack led to creating an annual benefit concert
• The event features performances from Daryl Worley, T Graham Brown, John Barry, and others to raise funds for Vanderbilt's Kennedy Center
• Emcee Devin O'Day shares personal connections to autism and how understanding has evolved over time
• Discussion of how many brilliant artists and songwriters likely fall somewhere on the autism spectrum
• O'Day shares touching story about connecting a high-anxiety horse with an autistic child, finding unexpected harmony
• Plans to expand the Country Music Autism Foundation events to more cities nationwide
• Statistics highlight that one in seven people worldwide know someone with autism in their family
Tell everyone everywhere about Why Not Me the World, the conversations we're having and the inspiration our guests give to everyone everywhere that you are not alone in this world.
