In October I got to photograph another great event for another inspiring organization called, Little Kids Rock. LKR was created in 2002 by Elementary School teacher Dave Wish with the idea that, “learning to play a musical instrument can be a transformative experience in students’ lives, with the power to inspire the creativity and confidence that are critical to success in school and beyond.” In short, Little Kids Rock believes in the power of music to inspire kids and strives to bring free musical instruments and musical education to schools across the country. Awesome.
Pictured above is the organization’s amazing founder, Dave Wish hugging his daughter right before the evening’s program at the Edison Ballroom began, which included a live auction, a speech by Lady Gaga (who later auctioned off a diamond ring and a signed guitar!) performances by Billy Squier and Steven Van Zandt who rocked “I Don’t Want to Go Home,” with the Little Kids Rock band - just to mention a few. It was so much fun to photograph and inspiring to learn about this great organization.
