As a mother and daughter, we find the kids connect with us in a special way. It's interesting to see how they look at Kelly as a positive role model for change and how they relate to me as a mom especially those who have not had positive relationships of their own. Our band members are all professional working musicians. They have the ability to fit in with any group. They are particularly good with tough or initially resistant groups and always win them over with their musical ability.
Music is truly a Universal language and a true healer.
As a group we have performed in many places for different audiences but we all agree that the work we do with young people is by far the most rewarding. To see how the music can bring out feelings and change attitudes from the time we begin to when we leave is truly magical. To have kids come up to talk with us after and ask for copies of lyrics to songs that effected them is truly touching. When they start telling us about their families and their dreams we feel very honored and blessed. There are other programs that use music with kids but we bring a unique ability to communicate on a real world level and the kids really open up to us.
