Acoustic for Autism is a music project founded by childhood friends Mike Cusanelli and Louis Gendron who reconnected after twenty years and formed a bond when they discovered that they both have children with autism. A4A donates 100% of the net proceeds to non-profit organizations in the US who are helping families and children directly afflicted with autism.
Thank you and Happy Holidays.

Dating myself, here but one of the most fun concerts I ever went to was Dave Wakeling's English Beat opening for the Clash at the San Francisco Civic in 1981. I was a big Clash fan but had never heard of the English Beat before the show. The Beat walked on stage played their first bar and pandemonium broke out. Unbelievable energy, non-stop dancing, wonderful fun. It's great that he is doing this for us. I just someone close to him isn't affected.
