I met a friend in New Zealand who completely changed my perspective about what the possibilities could be for people attending my shows with disabilities. She told me how some people were in hospital beds in a sectioned area of the crowd at a particular festival I was playing. My mind exploded with ideas of how to expand her vision to make this kind of inclusivity available in the US. We partnered with KultureCity during the #LDWT to begin taking a step toward making this idea a reality. We provided sensory bags on the concourse every night of the tour for those needing assistance due to ptsd, sensory sensitivities, autism, etc. The final night of the tour, we opened the very first sensory room at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville for the folks that may need to take a moment from quite a stimulating environment to rest and reset before entering back into the fun! I’m so grateful to be a part of a mission that started long before me. Thank you, KultureCity and Bridgestone Arena, for making this possible! In honor of my late New Zealand friend...
