Songs in the key of hope.
ABOUT
Two dads using music to spark a movement for kids mental health.
We are a Minneapolis-based songwriting project with a singular goal of spreading hope and love through music. Now, we’re forming a band of believers to do that on a more profound level. By using the universal power of music to amplify the children’s mental health crisis. And do something about it.
OUR VISION
A multi-tiered, music-driven movement for kids’ mental health.
Our goal is to create a series of magical, multi-genre musical events that amplify awareness of the children’s mental health crisis. Coast to coast. And overlay each of those inspirational moments with a giving platform that enables top-tier children’s behavioral health providers to directly receive funds to help establish music therapy programs. No small undertaking, to be sure. But we’re well on our way, starting with a pilot effort in our home state of MN. Stay tuned!
