NEW CHILDREN'S ENTERTAINMENT BAND AIMS TO HELP AUTISTIC CHILDREN.

 

[Kansas City, MO] – [August 30, 2014] – Brian Smith, The Aus-Sum Dad, announced that he has formed a new band called The Aus-Sums. The band features original music that everyone can enjoy but their main goal is helping children on the autism spectrum. The songs are tools parents can use that will help their child develop the social skills they need to excel in all areas of life.

 

Smith is a father of four and he and his wife, Nancy, know first-hand the challenges of raising a child diagnosed with severe autism. Many of the songs were written with his son, Tristan, in mind. The songs teach about safety, behavior, hygiene and introduce social stories in a fun and engaging way. 

 

The Aus-Sums band consists of Missouri residents: Michelle Beedle and Brian Smith. They have just finished recording their first demo tracks “Dancing on the Clouds” and “What Should I do” and have began working on their first album which will release near the holidays. 

 

The group will launch a kickstarter campaign this year and plans to perform live shows locally and on tour.
