Breaking musical stereo types and celebrating the gift of Down Syndrome was quite the event at The Willew Lounge on August 25, 2013.
Acoustics for Angels benefiting Angels in Disguise was hosted by Last Choice Country and Ash Events.
Thank you to the talented line up of musicians who came to celebrate; Jedi Mind Trip, Noel, Mandi Layne & The Lost Highway, Allie Shermataro, The Jane & Joe Show, Matt Ryan Band, Pac-Men, Danni Vitany & Ten Hands Tall, and last but not least, Brian Vander Ark (formerly from The Verve Pipe).
Angels in Disguise is a non-profit organization dedicated to celebrating and empowering those with Down Syndrome. Promoting a positive perception of Down Syndrome and expanding the pool of opportunities for these angels is the basis of their work.
