The following description comes from the event organizer.

SonMax Music announces the Founder of Rock Autism, Max Muscato, is now launching a tour for Autism Acceptance. Muscato developed a new wave of music and film opportunities for youth with Autism and is taking the nonprofit with him on tour. Along the way, he will be donating a portion of the ticket sales to various children’s hospitals in towns they will be playing. Among them Nicklaus Children’s Hospital (12/10/22), Children’s Hospital New Orleans (1/11/23), Seattle Children’s Autism Center (2/2/23), Autism Career Training in Nashville (2/23/23) and Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC (3/3/23).

Max’s story is entwined with his brother Sonny, a gifted drummer with Autism who was physically and mentally abused in assisted living facilities, used as a drug mule for drug dealers, tossed in and out of jail and shot by a drunk corrections officer. Max led the charge for change to save him by founding Rock Autism, to develop young leaders within the Autism community by providing music and film workshops for autistic youth, keeping them free from depression, isolation, addiction and suicide -- all very real issues affecting the Autism community today.
