Autism ROCKS is going down next Friday, April 16th, at the Snow Goose in downtown Anchorage from 7 to 11 pm.

(If you buy tickets online, don't worry, you don't need to have a PayPal account - just a credit card. There's a SMALL link on the page that says 'don't have a PayPal account?

HIGH QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT

This concert is going to be so major, we can barely contain our excitement. We are bringing to you live the absolute BEST of the best local bands and solo artists, and among them are internationally known artists, multiple award winners, and a band who did the soundtrack for a feature film (yes, The Rebuttals, we mean you!)

THINKING OF BRINGING THE KIDS?

Just so everybody knows ahead of time, Autism ROCKS is first and foremost a rock concert - and the Snow Goose is a restaurant and a bar. There will be alcohol served to adults - so if you do decide to bring your kids, please know that you will need to supervise them at all times. There will be fairly (but not unreasonably) loud music. We would not suggest bringing very young children.

If you have any questions about the event, please email us.

Special Guest added to the lineup!

We are so excited and glad that KTVA Channel 11 anchor Matthew Felling will be making an appearance at the event. (You might remember him from the awesome story he did on our Nintendo Wii clubs!) Matthew is an all-around great guy, and has been really supportive of Stone Soup Group & our mission to help families of kids and teens with Autism and other developmental disabilities - and he happens to have a young family member who experiences Autism. How cool!

Another awesome community supporter who ROCKS!
